WHO IS PUGZEE?

Legend has it that Pugzee once belonged to a certain underworld figure famous for the scar on his face given to him in Red Hook Brooklyn. When this crime boss was run out of town by rival gangs, his pet dog Pugzee was left to hold down Red Hook. Not long after the big Boss’ departure in 1933, Pugzee was “framed” and sentenced to life in Prison. In no time Pugzee was running the joint with his motto, “I’m happy everybody’s happy”.

It’s 2006 and word is floating around the joint that Pugzee’s old neighborhood Red Hook has been taken over. When Pugzee caught wind of this, it twisted his insides. The old timers were being pushed out, too weak and old to fight back. Unable to get past these thoughts Pugzee decided he was Busting Out!

Pugzee planned his escape and executed it perfectly, even having time to puff on a few cigars along the way. From hiding in the laundry basket or shimmying pipes, Pugzee cleared the wall and was soon floating in the Hudson.
