Petaluma: Gus the dog has three legs, one eye, skin cancer 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 St. Petersburg, Florida, to compete for the dubious distinction.
She said she would spend the $1,600 prize on treatment for Gus's skin cancer.
After the excitement of the moment, Teed characterised 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.
