Get ready for a hilarious and touching story from the canine world! Wild Thang, an eight-year-old Pekingese, finally won the title of “Ugliest Dog in the World” in a contest held in California, United States, last Friday. And it wasn’t easy, you know? The daredevil competed five times, placing second three times before finally taking home the trophy this year.
Wild Thang and his owner, Ann Lewis, have shown the world that persistence and ugliness pay off! This friendly and quirky Pekingese has a life story that would make any Mexican soap opera jealous. When he was just a puppy, he contracted the viral disease canine distemper, which left some permanent scars. His teeth never grew, causing his tongue to hang out forever, and his right front leg is always in motion, as if he were constantly swimming in the air.
But make no mistake! Despite his physical quirks, Wild Thang is a healthy and happy “Glugly.” With his unique charm, he and Ann Lewis took home a cheque for $5,000 (approximately £4,000).
The “World’s Ugliest Dog” contest has been running for almost 50 years and celebrates the imperfections that make every dog special and unique. After all, who needs teeth when you have charisma to spare? Congratulations, Wild Thang, for reminding us that true beauty lies in our differences and that sometimes being ugly is a lot more fun!
