AT LEAST WE THINK IT’S A DOG

Gaze in horror at the winner of the 2007 World’s Ugliest Dog Contest. This year’s freak of nature is Elwood, a Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix, whose shriveled up face is accentuated by a scraggly white mohawk, a pair of Yoda-ears, and a grotesquely long tongue which looks like a piece of beef jerky. Elwood's owner found him at a breeder who, she claims, “was going to euthanize him because she thought he was too ugly to sell.” (Associated Press)
