Pugs in Fancy Dress

Owner Phillip Lauer, 57, said: “They are the family photos that we put up on our walls just like other people do of their kids. Yes, it’s a lot of time and effort but we have a lot of great memories and photos to share. It puts a smile on our faces, too”.

Phillip and his wife Sue have been transforming their dogs Blue, Bono and Roxy, for the past six years.
