This furious pug is being hailed as the animal kingdom's answer to boxing legend Rocky Balboa after being caught pummelling his owner's sofa cushion - due to 'hating his interior design choices'. Nathan East walked in on three-year-old pug Max picking a fight with the cream pillow earlier this month and was stunned to see him repeatedly jabbing the cream cushion like something out of a speedbag drill.
The 38-year-old and his wife Kelly East, 39, burst out laughing as the victorious pooch then lay on the sofa as if to bask in the glory of his win over the cushions that they believe he 'hates'. The civil servant claims Max has destroyed three lots of cushions in his time, leaving the couple with a hefty bill for replacements, but is yet to find upholstery to his liking.
Nathan, from Warwick, Warwickshire, said: "He fancies himself as a bit of a boxer. Before we had Max, we used to have Boxer dogs. It's really weird that we've gone from Boxer dogs to a dog that wants to be a boxer.
