Good God, that IS the world’s ugliest dog. Seriously, who would own a dog that looks like this; but even more interestingly, who would CLAIM to own a dog that looks like this? (And if what they say about a dog looking like their owner is true… BRRRRRRRRRRRRR) Elwood’s owner is one Karen Quigley (you just knew it had to be a chick, didn’t you?), who hails from New Jersey, and has the distinction of owning (much to her giddy delight, including a $1000 prize money) 2007’s ugliest dog, a crown bestowed on the fugly canine last Friday.
From the AP:
“I think he’s the cutest thing that ever lived,” said Elwood’s owner, Karen Quigley, a resident of Sewell, New Jersey.
Quigley brought Elwood out to compete for the second year at the annual ugly dog contest at the Marin-Sonoma County Fair. Elwood placed second last year.
Most of the competing canines were also Chinese Crested, a breed that features a mohawk, bug eyes and a long, wagging tongue.Quigley said she rescued Elwood two years ago. “The breeder was going to euthanize him because she thought he was too ugly to sell,” said Quigley.
“So ha ha, now Elwood’s all over the Internet and people love him and adore him.”
Yeah, I don’t know about the “love him and adore him” part there, toots.
