Best in Show – Ponti wins Best Solo Costume at Charlestown Dogs 2025 Annual Howl-O-Ween Parade

Way to go, Ponti! Two-time champion!
Ponti, an almost 5-year-old Lagotto Romagnolo, Italian Truffle Hunter, held on to his Best Solo Costume at the Annual Charlestown Dogs Howl-O-Ween Parade this past weekend! This back-to-back winner dressed up as Ponti’s Puppy Pawng.
Last year’s costume was the Boston landmark, the Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge, commemorating the beloved humanitarian Leader Lenny Zakim and the Battle of Bunker Hill.
