 13 Jul 2005 @ 04:08, by Raymond Powers "World's Ugliest Dog" Sam wins again The owners of the other contestants in this year's World's Ugliest Dog Contest may have thought their pooches had a chance - until they saw Sam. The 14-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested recently won the Sonoma-Marin Fair contest for the third consecutive time, and it's no surprise. The tiny dog has no hair, except for a yellowish-white tuft erupting from his head. His wrinkled brown skin is covered with splotches, a line of warts marches down his snout, his blind eyes are an alien, milky white and a fleshy flap of skin hangs from his withered neck. He's so ugly even the judges recoiled when he was placed on the judging table, said proud owner, Susie Lockheed, of Santa Barbara. ''People are always horrified when I kiss him. He may turn into a prince yet. He's definitely a toad,'' she said. ''I always thought he'd be great on greeting cards or on a commercial for Rogaine.'' |
