| Hairless Pooch Wins Ugly Dog Contest | |
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) -- The owners of the other contestants in this year's World's
Ugliest Dog Contest may have thought their pooches had a chance - until they saw Sam.
The 14-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested recently won the Sonoma-Marin Fair contest for the
third consecutive time, and it's no surprise.
|
The tiny dog has no hair, if you don't count the yellowish-white tuft erupting from his head.
His wrinkled brown skin is covered with splotches, a line of warts marches down his snout,
his blind eyes are an alien, milky white and a fleshy flap of skin hangs from his withered
neck. And then there's the Austin Powers teeth that jut at odd angles from his mouth. |
He's so ugly even the judges recoiled when he was placed on the judging table, said his proud
owner, Susie Lockheed, of Santa Barbara.
