See the World’s Ugliest Dog!
Here’s our tribute to Gus, who took home the 2008 World’s Ugliest Dog Contest honors at the Sonoma-Marin Fair this past weekend.
This Chinese Crested has been through a lot and bears the scars of it all: a missing leg due to a cancerous skin tumor as well as a missing eye from a cat fight he lost. None of this means a thing to his family. They still love him for his inner beauty and plan to use their cash prize to help pay for his cancer treatments.
Lucille Bald, a former contest winner, is a Dogster member. Check out her profile and see our list of the Top 10 Funny-Looking Dog Breeds.

Oh, he sure IS an ugly thing, but what a trooper! And look at the publicity he’s getting…he’s a new celeb!
CONGRATS to Gus!! What a sweet boy. And it is so cool his mom is using his prize money for his cancer treatment.
Animal Planet covered the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest and will be airing the show this October. Can’t wait to watch it!
Congratulations again to Gus and his family.
He isn’t ugly! He’s pretty cute in my eyes. (:
Gus is definitely a trooper! He should have received an award for the strongest.
