Dog named Mugly wins Worlds Ugliest Dog contest
Posted: Jun 23, 2012 10:00 AM by Associated Press
PETALUMA, Calif. (AP) - The winner of this year's World's Ugliest Dog contest is a dog named Mugly, an 8-year-old Chinese Crested from the United Kingdom.
Competing for fame, $1,000 and a year's worth of dog cookies at the annual event held at Marin-Sonoma Fairgrounds in Petaluma, Mugly was named the world's ugliest dog Friday night, beating out 28 other ugly dogs from around the world.
Mugly is described as a rescue dog who "has had hard times and was viciously attacked in a park by a group of thugs."
Besides the cash and dog cookies, Mugly will also be invited for a photo shoot and will receive a VIP stay at the Sheraton Petaluma.
Organizers say the competing dogs are judged for what they term their "natural ugliness in both pedigree and mutt classes."
