Pictures of the 2012 Ugopiadi Pug Festival

Lovely Lajatico, Italy, experienced an extraterrestrial invasion over the weekend when pugs from all over beamed down to this town near Pisa for the ninth annual Ugopiadi pug festival. Named for Ugo, the founder of the pug racing club Ugoclub, the festival celebrates smooshies from around the world as they participate in a parade, races, and this year's alien-themed costume contest. Check out the intergalactic fashion, and get some ideas for your pet's next Halloween costume!
