Many of you have no doubt been FOOLED over the years by a DISTORTED cartoon depiction of my dear relative as a BEAGLE in a popular cartoon. As you can tell from the AUTHENTIC painting (above), this could not be farther from the truth, as my dear ancestor was CLEARLY the most handsome of PUGS!
THIS is what many of you consider to be "the real deal"...
While entertaining for children, it doesn't represent the true heroism and panache of Colonel Hampton The Pug. In fact, in HIS day, he was nicknamed "The Most Interesting Pug in The World". It was Colonel Hampton (NOT THE BEAGLE) who finally shot down the dreaded Red Baron. THIS is what WOULD have happened to the silly Beagle...
So my dear readers, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to set the record straight and to introduce you to a TRUE American hero (cue Star Spangled Banner music NOW)...
***Mom's note*** I'm sure you've all figured out this story is complete crap and it's really just a cute print of a Pug that I got at TJ Maxx for $14.99 today!
