The cuteness is strong with this one. Each year, the Oregon Humane Society holds an annual fundraiser it calls a Pug Crawl. Dog owners bring their four-legged friends with them to a local bar, where there is live music, food and drink, and an extravagant ritual called The Parade Of Pugs. This year, the Society opted for a science-fiction motif for its fundraiser, dubbing it Star Wars: The Pug Awakens, encouraging owners to dress their pugs as little Darth Vaders, Yodas, Ewoks, and AT-ATs. The whole thing went down on Sunday, May 22, at Portland Brewing Company Tap Room. If this all sounds dangerously close to a Portlandia sketch, that’s because it’s happening in Portland. The Oregon Humane Society says that the event attracted “a record-breaking crowd estimated at 2,200 people and 800 pugs.” The combination of Star Wars iconography and adorable, tiny dogs with smashed-in faces proved a potent lure indeed. A panel of judges eventually decided that the best-costumed pooch at the event was Helga The Hutt, a furry little parody of the fearsome Tatooine crime lord.
