Did you know that there is a "ugliest dog contest" in the world? The competition is held every year in June in California, USA. The judges mainly judged the dog's hair, defects, presence or absence of teeth, bulging tongue, and other distinguishing features.
When I first heard about it, I silently complained in my heart: human beings have too no sense of boundaries......
In fact, this competition is very heartwarming, aiming to cheer for dogs with physical trauma due to illness and other reasons, and calling on caring people to adopt more such "Wang Xingren".
According to a number of foreign media reports, the top three results of this year's "ugliest dog competition" are released, let's get to know them:
TOP 1
Wild Thang
The winner of this year's World's Ugliest Dog Contest was an 8-year-old Pekingese dog named Wild Thang.
Wild Thang from Coos Bay, Oregon, has competed in the world's ugliest dog contest five times, but this is his first win.
Wild Thang's distinctive appearance stems from the after-effects of canine distemper when he was 10 weeks old.
The disease hindered the growth of his teeth, also caused his tongue to hang out all the time, and left him with a muscle disorder in one leg.
Wild Thang and its owner, Ann Lewis, will receive a $5,000 prize and be featured on NBC's Today Show.
TOP 2
Rome
A 14-year-old pug named "Roma" in a wheelchair took second place and received a $3,000 prize. It was the first time that Roma had competed.
He is also a member of a team of pug relay races that raise money to provide wheelchairs for dogs with disabilities.
TOP 3
Daisy Mae
Another first-time dog named Daisy Mae, a 14-year-old white mixed breed rescue dog. It finished third and will win $2,000.
She was rescued from the street at the age of two, losing her hair and teeth, and losing sight.
The organizers of the contest said that the point of the contest was not to make fun of the "ugly" dogs, but to show the world that these imperfect dogs are also beautiful through the contest to get people to play with these adorable animals! ”
