Substitute pug for pig and cat for wolf, and you have this "Three Little Pigs" update, although the story has been tweaked to reflect the pampered cast: e.g., the big, bad cat uses a hair dryer to wreck the first little pug's house. The book is entertaining, but its art, peppered with color photos of the featured diva pugs, is overstuffed.
