A FACE ONLY A BITCH COULD LOVE

The 20th Annual Sonamo-Marin Fair has ended with the crowning of 2008’s World’s Ugliest Dog. This year’s winner is Gus, a hairless Chinese-Crested with skin cancer who has only three legs (one was amputated because of a skin tumor) and is missing an eye thanks to a fight with a tomcat. Gus beat out 12 hideous creatures (check out the photos at Somoma-Fair.org) to win a year’s supply of organic doggy treats, two trophies and $1,600 in prize money. “I’m just in shock.” said Gus’s owner. “We came so far and are so happy that we can put the winnings towards Gus’ radiation treatment. We’re just thrilled.”
