It was his fifth time competing, but this year, the very fluffy 8-year-old Pekingese ‘Wild Thang’ took home the award for 2024 ‘World’s Ugliest Dog Contest.’ His owner gets a check for 5k (for all the dog treats.)
It’s the stick-out tongue that gets us.
“Wild Thang was a fan favorite,” said one of the judges. “The fact that he had been competing for five times and only came in second [until now], kind of like the bridesmaid and never the bride, really tugged at our heartstrings. He deserved to win.”
We think they’re all good doggos!
Wild Thang and owner Ann Lewis.
