The old dog, a 17-year-old Chinese crested dog, won first prize on Friday against nine other contenders in the annual competition that has been an institution for decades.
With a punk haircut and his tongue hanging permanently from his muzzle, “Happy Face” was named the ugliest dog in the world at a competition held in California, USA.
The old dog, a 17-year-old Chinese crested dog, won first prize on Friday against nine other contenders in the annual competition that has been an institution for decades.
The champion was adopted last year, during the coronavirus pandemic, by 41-year-old musician Jeneda Benali in Arizona. She said she had been warned that it was an elderly dog ​​with health problems. “The staff of the kennel tried to prepare me for what I would see. “I saw a creature that was really old, needed a second chance and deserved to be loved,” said the proud owner.
Veterinarians explained that due to her health problems, the dog might only be alive for a few weeks. “But mom’s love, kindness and kisses helped him get over the problems,” said Jenda Benali.
The “Happy Face” is accustomed to sleeping, snoring, whining in his sleep and making strange noises when he is happy, said the 41-year-old musician.
