A 17-year-old, blind Chihuahua named Sweepee Rambo has beaten 16
other contestants to emerge the world’s ugliest dog and net its owner a £1000
cash prize and a six-foot trophy.
The dog impressed judges with its ugliness as it walked the red carpet.The World’s Ugliest Dog competition, now in its 28th year, is held at
the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds in Petaluma, California, about 40 miles (64
km) north of San Francisco.
A panel of judges score the contestants based on first impression, unusual attributes, natural ugliness and personality.
