Not even an early downpour could ruin the fun of yesterday’s Dog’s Day of Summer—the Portland Mercury‘s annual wiener dog and pug races held at the Lucky Labrador Brew Pub! After a quick drenching rain at the beginning, the weather settled down and the most exciting races of the year began! Want to see some pics and videos?
On your mark… get set… PUG!!!
MORE PICS AND VIDS AFTER THE JUMP!
Overheard at Dogs’ Day Of Summer: “That’s a fast wiener!!!”

That was fun! I actually had money on Clarke, but never bothered to collect.
who won the pug races??? we had a ticket to race, but ended up not being able to make it down.
So fun! Clark keeps talking about it at home and has started training for the next one:)
