World’s Ugliest Dog competition won by beagle-boxer-basset mix
For 25 years, the World’s Ugliest Dog contest has been judging charisma-challenged chihuahuas and pugs with ugly mugs. At this year’s competition, held in Northern California, beagle/boxer/basset hound mix Walle was the, er, top dog, at a pageant of unsightly pooches.
