Pugs are one of the most identifiable breeds of dogs. As puppies, their flat faces, massive eyes, and concerned wrinkles are endearing, but I think older Pugs are the cutest! These photos from Mei Lin Barral show off just adorable Howie the Pug is. 
From Mei Lin: “Howie, or as he’s better known on Instagram as ‘a pug named Howard’ was an absolute star during his portrait session with his mom!
The South End in Boston was a beautiful location for portraits because of its timeless Boston brick and cobblestone streets.
Howie donned a matching black coat with his mom and smiled throughout his entire session.
Being a senior pug, he enjoys long naps (with extreme snoring), loads of treats, and many many hugs and snuggles from mom. 
Howie was named after two hockey players and while his name is formally Howard, he’s only called that when he’s in trouble.”
Howie is very vocal and does an awesome gremlin impersonation. You can verify this for yourself by checking out A Pug Named Howard’s Instagram stories about work.

Howie is so cute in his sweater and his face is so adorable. He really loves the camera and seems to be posing.
So sweet. I love his jacket. My daughter wishes she could have a pug.

Howard is just the goodest boy! I have always enjoyed playing with pugs.
Howie is adorable! Would love to have a pug one of these days.
Howie is cute and very photogenic in his sartorial splendor. A senior Pug is unfortunately rather rare.
He is adorable and there is something cartoonish about pugs that make them just so so cute.
OMG! I love Howie! I’ved owned 2 pugs in my life, and they are amazing at any age. Howie did awesome for his photo shoot!
Omg, these pug pictures are way too adorable!! Love this, such an uplifting and adorable post!

He is just the cutest. He looks like he really knows how to pose for the camera. LOL. And I love the outfits too.
What a sweet old guy. He looks so cozy in his coat!
He is so adorable! I see what you mean about an older one though, there is something so special about his gray face and big eyes. Beautiful photos.
Okay, I have to show this to my husband right away. His favorite dog is a pug, and I’m pretty sure he’d just melt looking through these adorable pictures of Howard! I know I did!
He is super adorable. I’ve got a Yorkie and I wish that he would sit still like Howard for photos. He doesn’t sit still very often though.
I’ve had two pugs, and I absolutely adore the breed. Seeing that happy face brings me so much joy!
Howie is adorable. Pugs get everything they want because they master that cute head tilt. That picture of Howie and his mom in match coats is very cute.
Howard is such a handsome guy! He looks like a natural, posing for his photos!
so cute! Those eyes, look so innocent 🙂 I want to hug this pug!
Would you look at these adorable and lovely photos! Howie sure nailed the photoshoot! He’s definitely a star and he’s so cute as well.
Oh my goodness look at his little face! I just want to give him a huge hug and a stroke! Cutie.
Pugs are adorable on their own, but this photo shoot takes them over the top! That jacket is the cutest!!
I love the third photo from the bottom. He looks like he is smiling and happy with life.
OMG even to a cat person like me Howard is the cutest dog ever and the photographs are absolutely spot on capturing personality and a whole lot of style!!
I am amazed at how you always find the perfect way of photographing every dog. Just stunning.
What a sweet sweet face. I love the fur coat around it. LOL, you show us the most fun photos ever!
Howie is such a cutie-pie! I’d love to cuddle him! Love your pictures too!
Howie is the cutest! I’m also a sucker for older pugs. He’s lucky to live in the South End where there is an awesome dog park.
