Actually, the Worlds Ugliest Dog -- Snopes has the story
Sam, the above-pictured canine, is a 14-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested owned by Susie Lockheed of Santa Barbara, California. In June 2005, Sam won the "World's Ugliest Dog" title at the Sonoma-Marin Fair contest for the third consecutive year.Probably a much loved sweetheart but sheesh...
The Associated Press described Sam thusly:The tiny dog has no hair, if you don't count the yellowish-white tuft erupting from his head. His wrinkled brown skin is covered with splotches, a line of warts marches down his snout, his blind eyes are an alien, milky white, and a fleshy flap of skin hangs from his withered neck. And then there are the Austin Powers teeth that jut at odd angles.Unfortunately, Sam is suffering from a number of age-related ailments (congestive heart failure, lung and kidney problems) and will probably make no more public appearances, so he may have to cede his "World's Ugliest Dog" crown in next year's competition.
He's so ugly that even the judges recoiled when he was placed on the judging table...
Actually Stephanie, that is what a Chinese Crested looks like -- they are fun little dogs with a great personality.
The physical ailments are nothing that the owners could fix -- every living thing gets old at some time. Best thing to do is to let Sam live out his days feasting on the food he loves, living in comfort and knowing that he is cherished and I bet that is exactly what happened.
