Gus the dog has three legs, one eye and no hair, except for a white tuft on the top of his head. He's a real winner.
The pedigree Chinese crested won the World's Ugliest Dog contest on Saturday 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 characterized 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' 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.

And willo1301. In answer to your joke. considering whose heads are on "next years" winner. It won''t have to s%$t everything that comes out of its mouth will be well you know.
BUT, did you know that the dogs in Peru owned by the Incas carried the same incredibly rare gene marker as this Chinese breed. Many people believe it points to the likely fact that Chinese traveled to America long before that other guy.

And how about American?
This used to be a fun and funny contest, but not anymore.
Used to be people would just bring in a naturally ugly but regular dog. Now, people are so desperate to win they all go and pick a Chinese Crested(the ugliest dog), and then to ENSURE they win, they''ve stooped to gouging out eyeballs and sawing off legs as well.
What will we get next year? A scorched and limbless Crested, with no eyes, no tail, no teeth, with his heart stapled to the outside of his body?
The whole contest has turned into a freak Bride-dog of Frankenstein show.
