UGLIEST DOG CONTEST 2008

what the heck?

Chinese crested named Gus is crowned ugliest dog

Gus has three legs, one eye and no hair, except for a white tuft on the top of his head. But he's top dog.

The pedigree Chinese crested won the World's Ugliest Dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Northern California.

His owner, Jeanenne Teed, brought Gus all the way from Florida, to compete for the dubious distinction

After the excitement of the moment, Teed characterised her dog's reaction: "Well, I think right now he's ready for a nap."

The Chinese crested breed is a popular choice in this annual contest. Last year's champ, Elwood, was a Chinese crested and Chihuahua mix.

Gus's owner won $500 and will be flown to New York to appear on "CBS This Morning." The event will be aired on the Animal Planet network in October.

World's Ugliest Dog Contest is an annual contest at the colleseum in Petaluma, California, U.S., to decide which of the dogs entered in the contest is the ugliest.
