World’s ugliest dog contest accepting entries

This year’s winner will be crowned on June 23

ORLANDO, Fla. – Does your dog have a face that only its owner could love?

If you answered yes, then you are in luck because the world’s ugliest dog contest is once again taking submissions.

The competition’s website says their goal is not to make fun of ugly dogs, but rather to celebrate “The imperfections that make all dogs special and unique.”

This year’s winner will be crowned on June 23 at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California.

Not only will they walk away with the trophy declaring them as “The world’s ugliest dog,” they also will get $1,500.

If you’re interested, make sure you submit your application on the contest’s website by June 21.

Last year’s winner was an almost-hairless 17-year-old pup named Mr. Happy Face.

The competition has been going on for nearly 50 years and emphasizes the importance of adoption.
