Bow wow wow! OK, so not quite 'wow wow,' but these pug purses are being sold by the museum of contemporary art.
This pug was created by designer Jennifer Liu who says the bag has "all of the affection, none of the responsibility" of a living, breathing dog. Hmmm...
The bag has a number of sections, but its more unusual features include a crystal paw, dog bone collar, poseable legs and dragonfly silk lining inside the purse.
