Pugmania 2009

In a hangar in Warren Magnuson Park, Saturday May 9, 300 dogs and their owners converged into what is known as Pugmania.  Vendors, booths, costume competitions, races and raffles all formed the convention put on by Seattle Pug Rescue.  More than a thousand people were estimated to have attended, all in the name of supporting the battle to rescue mistreated, unwanted or abandoned pugs.
