Introducing Elwood: The World's Ugliest Dog
The Sonoma Marin World's Ugliest Dog Contest 2007 was held this past Friday, and the winner is Elwood, a Chinese Crested with "lots of personality." With a face that looks like it was drawn by Picasso in his "drunk period," Elwood even makes snorting noises! The people who love these fug dogs are pretty adorable.

World's Ugliest Dog Competition: The Sights
I invaded the 2008 World's Ugliest Dog Competition on Friday, and what a whirlwind day it was! It was scorching hot in Petaluma, California, but I braved the heat and, not only got a chance to see the show live, but made friends with a cow, sat in on a sheep show, and, of course, met the World's Ugliest Dog face-to-snout. Take a peek into my day at the Sonoma-Marin Fair, and behind the scenes at the World's Ugliest Dog Competition!
It's a Dog's World: Fun at the 2009 World's Ugliest Dog Contest
Variety is the spice of life, and thankfully we got a taste at this year's World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma. The winner wasn't a Chinese Crested (like it has been in past contests), but a Boxer mix named Pabst who walked away with the blue ribbon and stole the hearts of the crowd with his huge underbite. But for me, the World's Ugliest Dog Contest wouldn't be complete without a stroll through the barns and coops of the other furry (and non-furry) animals that take their place at the fair.
Behind-the-Scenes Video from the 2008 Ugliest Dog Contest!
I loved chatting with the charming contestants – and their peculiar pets – at the 2008 World's Ugliest Dog Competition. I was so excited to see the pooches that I nearly forgot all the other fair fun! From ferris wheels to funnel cake, there were plenty of things to keep me occupied 'til showtime.
My Exclusive Interview with Gus, the 2008 World's Ugliest Dog!
All the way from St. Petersburg, Florida, Gus captured the title – and my heart – when he won the 20th Annual World's Ugliest Dog Competition. The three-legged, one-eyed pup with cancer has a true tale of triumph – Jeanenne Teed and daughter Janey plan to use his award money of $1,600 (that's $100 for being a finalist for the purebred category, $500 for winning the Ugliest Dog of 2008 at the Sonoma-Marin Fair, and $1,000 for being the "2008 World's Ugliest Dog") towards his radiation treatments.In addition to the money, he got two trophies, one taller than his owners – I've got no clue how they'll get those back to the Sunshine state!
