A Common Pug stopped by on my window today for a rest, and to warm his wings in the spring sunshine. Not the best photo due to his choice of position, but you can see his detailing nicely :) He’s early this year, and out in the day, so doubly rare! location: Derbyshire, UK.

I read the first sentence before I read the title and for a second was envisioning a pug (dog) with wings. It was a very adorable image. (The moth friend is also, to be clear, adorable.)

Ah what an image! Alas, this is a pug bug not a pug pup ;)

Although here’s Martha Stewart’s take on the subject (source: https://www.marthastewart.com/907572/moth-dog-pet-costume):

(Image: a white pug dog, its forelegs visible and its head toward the bottom of the picture, facing left; the dog is wearing pale gray felt moth wings, with black streaks and googly eyespots, on a harness and feathery gray antennae on a headband.)
