Ugly Dog Contest

The voting is underway in the World's Ugliest Dog Contest, culminating in the award at the Sonoma-Marin Fair on June 23. Sam, three-time undefeated winner (above), died last year, so they'll be crowning a new champ. There was a bit of a scandal about online vote stealing, but I guess the actual contest winner is determined by judges.

Eeeeyuulgh, these dogs give me the willies. This is one contest that Pappy would lose with flying colors--because of his unconventional good looks.
