Eight-year-old pekingese Wild Thang wins World’s Ugliest Dog contest ( www.theguardian.com )
The World’s Ugliest Dog annual contest may not render the most flattering title to its victor, but don’t tell that to Wild Thang.
The eight-year-old pekingese won this year’s competition on Friday.
Eight dogs vied for the title at the 2024 Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. Most of the creatures came from dog shelters before being adopted.
Wild Thang – of Coos Bay, Oregon – has competed in five editions of the World’s Ugliest Dog contest. Friday marked his first victory.
