Some pretty repulsive pooches took the stage Friday night at the 26th annual World’s Ugliest Dog competition.
The nearly 30 mangy mutts on display at the Petaluma’s Sonoma-Marin Fair featured deformed spines, lolling tongues, crooked teeth and warts in all the wrong places.
This year’s winner? A 2-year-old mutt named Peanut, whose wild white and brown hair, bulging eyes and protruding teeth belie his sweet, energetic personality.
Peanut’s owner, Holly Chandler of Greenville, North Carolina, says he was seriously burned as a puppy and she wants to use her pet to raise awareness about animal abuse.
She plans to use the $1,500 prize to pay for other animals’ veterinary bills.
The dogs are scored by a three-judge panel in several categories, including special or unusual attributes, personality and natural ugliness.
