A dog named Petunia nabbed the title Friday evening in the “World’s Ugliest Dog Contest,” at the Sonoma County Fair in Santa Rosa, California. Petunia and her owner, Shannon Nyman, walked away with $5,000 and bragging rights.
The contest has been taking place for nearly 50 years, organizers said, and is a “testament that the pedigree does not define the pet.”
Not only does the contest showcase the unique and offbeat beauty of dogs, but many of the participating dogs have been rescued from shelters and puppy mills – showing potential dog owners the positive outcomes of adoption.
“It’s a wonderful show of pageantry and pride,” organizers say.
