"When he gets the big break he has been waiting on, the one role that will actually win him an oscar, he is over joyed at the thought of his dream finally coming true. The only thing that doesn't appeal to him about the whole idea, is that he is told he will have to receive botox injections. Sounds a bit strange since he is a pug and wrinkles kind of goes with the territory." - Goodreads
Description:
For famous animal actor Kato Rhyan, being named "Cutest Pug Alive" by Pooch Magazine was cool (all right, really cool). But for him, acting isn't about fame, it's a part of him buried deep within his soul; and he's not about to let anything stand in his way of becoming the first animal to win an Oscar for Best Actor, even if it means taking on a role that requires a wrinkly dog's worst nightmare -- Botox injections.
But before the injection process begins, it's discovered that the Fountain of Wrinkles -- located in his beautiful hometown of Callia Rugas -- has been contaminated by Botox, jeopardizing the lives of crinkly canines everywhere and setting off a chain of events that force him to bid farewell to his dream and set foot on an adventure of a lifetime in search of the antidote to restore the Fountain.
But as with any good Hollywood tale, the story that seems so apparent is not always the one that unfolds. The twists and turns that follow are sure to keep you guessing and laughing.
GUEST POST
It’s no secret. Our culture is obsessed with smooth youthful skin. Simply type Botox or anti-wrinkle cream into any search engine and you’re inundated with promotions, coupons and countless images of women all too eager to do whatever it takes to end the spread of the dreaded wrinkle. Yet here among us, so engrained in our culture, there live wrinkly pooches, and, try as we might, we cannot resist their crinkly goodness. And that got me thinking. What if all this time wrinkly canines have been just as obsessed with wrinkles as we humans have been with smooth skin? Intrigued, I decided to take matters into my own hands and conduct a study.
Over the course of an unspecified period of time and after close inspection of several pugs in their natural habitat (a.k.a. some place fuzzy), I discovered not only was my suspicion correct, but that their behaviors suggested an even greater obsession than initially thought. Consider the following:
1. Pugs sleep and lounge on their back and/or their belly. Obviously, this is to ensure that no wrinkles are harmed or flattened during periods of respite.
2. Pugs generally dislike baths and/or water in general. Hydration, after all, is a wrinkle’s worst enemy.
3. Pugs smile excessively. I mean, come on? Is it really possible for one to be that happy? Or, is the real reason because they’re doing wrinkle activating exercises?
4. Pugs demand soft, fluffy, fuzzy surfaces for sleeping, lounging and sitting. A pillow can’t iron a wrinkle. I’m just saying.
5. Pugs love them a sunny spot, or let’s be real and call it what it really is – “nature’s finest wrinkle enhancing spot.”
