Pug Becomes Living Billboard to Make Holiday Cash

Hamilton the pug needed some holiday spending money, so the intrepid dog hatched a plan to become a living billboard on the Internet.

“He already had a fairly sizable Instragram following,” said his close friend, Tory Smythe. “So he leveraged that to spread the message about his services.”

Hamilton hasn’t yet closed a deal, but Smythe said he’s had plenty of interest from retailers interested in doing some extra Christmas marketing.

Editor’s Note: This pug really is named Hamilton, but he’s not selling his marketing services to earn spending money – the photo above was actually part of a campaign to raise money for the Curly Tail Pug Rescue and the Ohio Pug Rescue (his rescuers!).
