Disinterested Pug With Found Objects
It would appear that Seattlelites love pugs. In fact, pugs are firmly seated at the middle of the top 10 dog breeds registered with the AKC in Seattle, WA. However, one disinterested Seattle pug has caught my eye of late. His name is Roscoe. He is your typical pug with handsome good looks except that he and his owner have a knack for spotting strange objects while out and about. Roscoe has a whole Flickr set called Disinterested Pug With Found Objects devoted to his findings. I can easily spend hours looking at Roscoe posing with all the things that have crossed his path.
Check out the Disinterested Pug With Found Objects set on Flickr.
