Pabst, the 2009 World's Ugliest Dog
It’s not exactly “the face that launched a thousand ships”, but it did win a thousand bones, and more.
Pabst, a boxer-mix shelter dog, scored an underdog victory at the 21st annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest Friday at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California.
This was the first time in seven years a mutt has won the competition. Pabst, with his trademark under bite, won over the audience and the judges quickly with his sweet personality.
For their efforts, Pabst and his owner Miles Egstad won $1,600 from the Sonoma-Marin Fair for sweeping all three rounds of judging, and celebrity-favorite designer House of Dog contributed another $1,000 in prize money, a collection of high-end dog fashion accessories, and a year-long modeling contract that Pabst signed with his paw. Event Photographer Grace Chon also threw in a professional photo shoot.
Here is the official video of the event:
