She’s a mutt even a mother couldn’t love.
A 1.8-pound California dog won the dubious title of “World’s Ugliest Dog” today during the 23rd annual hideous hound competition at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, Calif.
The dowdy dog, named Yoda, was crowned the queen of the queer-looking over 28 other misshapen mutts.
Yoda’s owner, Terry Devine Schumacher, of Hanford, Calif., originally wanted to walk right by the dog when her daughter found her in a field.
“I told her to put it down because I thought it was a rat,” Schumacher said.
The family has owned the awful-looking animal for 14 years.
Schumacher took home $1,000 and a trophy 15 times the size of Yoda, along with a stay at a luxury hotel. Contestants are voted on by text messages, and attendees yelped for Yoda’s irregular features and scruffy fur.
