Pug-O-Ween
Fan Submission! by Melissa Halter!
She explains: Every year in North Texas we have a pug rescue charity event called Pug O Ween that helps us raise funds for abandoned, abused or homeless pugs. The costumes can get pretty elaborate at this event. This year, we decided to create a Freak show theme, featuring our own rescued pug, Velvet, as ‘The Bearded Lady’.
