The annual World’s Ugliest Dog contest went down on Saturday in Petaluma, California and this year’s winner is a nine-year-old bulldog named Zsa Zsa.
Her most prominent feature is a massive tongue that hangs out of her mouth and is so long and floppy it looks like it’s almost scraping the ground. She beat out 14 other dogs, including the usual mix of jacked up Chihuahuas, dogs with underbites and random explosions of hair, and wrinkled and sagging older dogs.
Zsa Zsa’s owners drove 30 hours from Minnesota to enter her in the contest. They won a trophy and $1,500 which probably doesn’t even cover the cost of the trip. Hope those bragging rights are worth it.
The World’s Ugliest Dog contest is actually a celebration of the dogs, many of which were rescued from shelters or puppy mills https://t.co/YYIEH90cCY
