Chuggi Files: Samarth Gupta’s Swag-Soaked, Soul-Stirring Tale of an Imperfectly Perfect Dog

New Delhi [India], June 6: BlueRose Publishers extends heartfelt congratulations to Samarth Gupta on the release of his debut book, Chuggi Files: A Story of a Dog with Swag and Anger Issues. A refreshingly honest and witty tale inspired by real-life experiences, Chuggi Files is a testament to the unspoken truths of pet parenting, love, and imperfection. BlueRose Publishers is proud to be part of this unique literary journey and look forward to seeing readers fall in love with Chuggi’s unforgettable story.

In a world overflowing with picture-perfect pet stories, Chuggi Files: A Story of a Dog with Swag and Anger Issues breaks the mold with a fiercely honest portrayal of dog ownership and the complexities of companionship. Written by Samarth Gupta, a Mumbai-based civil engineer with ONGC, the book takes readers on a wild yet deeply emotional journey through the eyes of Rishi and his “Katila” canine companion, Chuggi.

Born and raised in Bhopal, Samarth balances a high-pressure career in infrastructure with creative passions like wildlife photography and writing. His debut novel emerges not just as a passion project but as a personal catharsis—crafted during Mumbai’s relentless local train commutes. What began as a therapeutic response to the emotional turmoil of dealing with his dog’s aggressive behavior transformed into a story that’s equal parts comical, raw, and moving.

“At first, I just wanted to pour my feelings somewhere—our dog Chuggi was a handful, and we were honestly overwhelmed,” says Gupta. “But over time, I realized our story had the potential to connect with people who struggle with the ‘not-so-Instagrammable’ realities of raising pets in India.”

The novel revolves around Chuggi, a headstrong alpha dog with no desire to please and plenty of attitude. He’s not your typical canine hero—no miraculous rescues or polished obedience routines here. Instead, readers get a glimpse into the real-life frustrations, fears, joys, and small victories of raising a pet who doesn’t fit society’s norms. Chuggi Files doesn’t just highlight the dog’s journey; it lays bare the emotional evolution of Rishi, the pet parent, grappling with love, anger, guilt, and acceptance.

With sharp wit and emotional depth, the book challenges societal expectations around pet ownership, urging readers to embrace the messy, unpredictable, and often difficult journey of building trust with another being—furry or otherwise. “This isn’t just a story about a dog,” Gupta explains, “It’s about relationships, expectations, judgment, and the unfiltered beauty of unconditional love.”

What makes Chuggi Files especially endearing is its realness—there are no clichés, no sugarcoated moments. From the guilt of contemplating rehoming to the small joys of behavioral breakthroughs, every page is a tribute to the grit and grace it takes to love something (or someone) who doesn’t come easy.

Currently working on the sequel, Gupta promises to delve deeper into the evolving dynamics of pet-parent relationships, while continuing to spotlight the often-ignored emotional labor behind raising a difficult pet.

And to aspiring authors who hesitate to publish out of fear of failure, Samarth offers heartfelt encouragement: “Your book is like your baby. You may worry it won’t sell or that people won’t get it—but trust me, finishing it and putting it out there is a victory in itself. Don’t wait to be famous. Start by being brave.”

Whether you’re a dog lover, a first-time pet parent, or someone who simply appreciates stories that are real, unpolished, and deeply human, Chuggi Files is a refreshing reminder that sometimes, the most chaotic companions are the ones who teach us the most about love.
