Wild Thang is your World’s Ugliest Dog contest winner
The World’s Ugliest Dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California has a new champion this year. Wild Thang, an eight-year-old Pekingese from Coos Bay, Oregon, won the title. This competition, which mostly features dogs from shelters, celebrates the unique beauty of all dogs and promotes adoption.
This was Wild Thang’s fifth time in the contest and his first win. His early health issues, including a lack of teeth and a muscle disorder, make him stand out. These features won the hearts of the judges and the crowd. The contest focuses on the special qualities of all animals. Wild Thang and his owner, Ann Lewis, will get $5,000 and a spot on NBC’s “The Today Show.”
Wild Thang is a Pekingese
The Pekingese breed comes from the Chinese Imperial court. It is small, with a flat face and big eyes. These dogs were once the cherished companions of Chinese emperors. Despite his small size, Wild Thang shows the brave spirit typical of his breed. His health challenges from when he was younger make people love him even more.
Pekingese are known for their distinctive look and slow, rolling walk. They are popular pets that are loyal and full of character. They sometimes face health problems due to their flat faces, but they are still loved by many for their unique qualities.
