Watch: 'World's Ugliest Dog' crowned in California

The "World's Ugliest Dog" competition was held at the Sonoma County Fair in Santa Rosa, California. The event aims to promote the adoption of dogs of all ages and appearances. This year's winner was a 17-year-old Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix named Mr. Happy Face. Mr. Happy Face, who was rescued from a life of abuse and neglect, impressed the judges with his positive attitude and endearing personality. The competition celebrates the unique beauty of dogs often overlooked for adoption, challenging the traditional standards of canine aesthetics. While the "ugliest" moniker may seem unkind, the event ultimately serves to raise awareness about the importance of adopting older and less conventionally attractive dogs, who can make loving and loyal companions.
