As the days progressed soon after our King’s arrival, he became closer and closer to his assigned royal guard, Sir Alexander. Here, you can see yet another moment where the two have settled into a nice afternoon snooze after playing a round of chess. Argus is exhausted, yet Sir Alexander is still keeping at least one eye open.

During our Kings early formative years, he spend a great deal of time soaking in the culture and urban delights of Manhattan. Refined and dignified at an early age, Argus enjoyed regular excursions to the varied museums, fine restaurants, galleries, shows, and especially outdoor cafes. He developed a connoisseur’s palette for fine wines, an expert’s eye for modern art composition, a deep understanding of natural history, and a passion for fresh cannoli and perfect cappuccino. And every excursion into the urban landscape was always accompanied by his royal carrier and especially his faithful guard and defender of all pugs, Sir Alexander.

When you’re a refined and pampered creature such as King Argus, there are few things in life better than a nap with your best friend. And it’s even better when your best friend is soft, warm, kind-hearted, gentle, and your devoted royal body guard who sleeps with one eye open.
