* AmusingInjuries: Pig's comeuppance in each book tends to involve him being on the receiving end of some {{Slapstick}}-style physical misfortune as a result of his own actions or tantrums, with the final page often revealing him to be forced to be some sort of BandageMummy as a result.

->''Pig was a pug, and I’m sorry to say…''
''Pig the Pug'' is a series of children’s picture books by Australian author Aaron Blabey, author of ''Literature/TheBadGuys''. This was his first book series, as the others were one-offs before this one.
The series focuses on two dogs that live together. Trevor is a sweet and kind dachshund who always does the right thing, while Pig is a fat, mean and greedy pug. Each book involves Pig doing something bad, against the advice of Trevor, and suffering the consequences of them.
'''The books currently released include:'''
#''Pig the Pug'' (2014)
#''Pig the Fibber'' (2015)

!! The ''Pig the Pug'' series provides examples of:
*AttentionWhore: Pig is desperate to be in the spotlight, shoving Trevor away to get the focus. ''Pig the Star'' in particular is all about him doing this.
*ChristmasEpisode: ''Pig the Elf'' takes place during Christmas, and focuses on Pig’s greed.
*DeliberatelyBadExample: Everything Pig does is the wrong way to act, contrasting Trevor, who the audience is meant to be more like.
*DogStereotype: Zigzagged. Pig’s bad behavior is certainly played for jokes, but Trevor is kind and sweet, unlike the stereotype of dachshunds.
*FatBastard: Pig is a rude, lazy, and gross overweight pug, and never seems to want to learn from his issues. In contrast, Trevor is a slender dachshund that is very sweet and kind.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each book is named in a ''Pig the X'' fashion, with X being replaced with a certain word that describes Pig’s behavior in the book.
*LaserGuidedKarma: Everything bad that Pig does in every book will end up going back to bite him by the end of the story.
*LazyBum: ''Pig the Blob'' is about Pig’s laziness getting to ridiculous levels.
*MarketBasedTitle:
** ''Pig the Grub'' was released as ''Pig the Stinker'' in some locations.
** ''Pig the Blob'' was released as ''Pig the Slob'' in some locations.
*NeverMyFault: As seen in ''Pig the Fibber'', Pig is willing to never own up to his mistakes and get Trevor in trouble for them instead.
*ThePigPen: ''Pig the Grub'' is about Pig’s disgusting habits and the ways he avoids to get clean.
*RightWayWrongWayPair: Pug is bad and a troublemaker, while Trevor is sweet and kind. Things always end up going Trevor’s way in the end, while Pug ends up in trouble thanks to his own actions.
*SoreLoser: As seen in ''Pig the Winner'', Pig absolutely loathes losing, and will throw enough of a major temper tantrum that his opponent will concede defeat just to make him stop.
*UnsportsmanlikeGloating: In ''Pig the Winner'', as soon as Pug wins (even if it was via his opponent conceding defeat because they were tired of him being a SoreLoser), he will brag and taunt his opponent mercilessly.
