'Gus' crowned world's ugliest dog |
2008-06-22 |
A three-legged, one-eyed, cancer-afflicted dog named Gus has been crowned the World's Ugliest Dog at a fair in California. Gus, a Chinese Crested dog, beat allcomers to take the title at the Sonoma-Marin Fair. Owner Jeanenne Teed, from Florida, said she would spend the $1,600 prize on treatment for Gus's skin cancer. The competition has been running for 20 years, and is one of the fair's top attractions, organisers said. Vicki DeArmon, marketing director of the fair, said that in the past few years, winners had been dogs that had been abandoned or neglected before being adopted by dog-lovers. "They may look hard to love, but apparently they are not. I've never seen dogs better cared for," she added. Gus was rescued from a bad home. One of his legs was amputated as a consequence of his skin tumour. He lost an eye to a tomcat in a fight. |

#6 I have nothing but pity for small dogs like that. My tomcat in Germany was bigger than most of them, and meaner than ANY of them. I never could get very friendly with something only slightly larger than an overgrown rat, even though my mom had Chihuauas for many years. I don't know that ol' Gus is all that ugly, though. I've got a hairless cat that will make him look plumb handsome! |
