RIP - "Gus" (1999-2008)

Gus, a one-eyed, three-legged Chinese crested dog and winner of the 2008 Ugliest Pooch contest, passed away last week. He was 9 years old. . He lost an eye in a cat fight, and a leg due to a skin tumor. His owner rescued him after learning that someone was keeping him in a crate in a garage. . I'm a dog-lover anyway, but the story struck a special chord with me since one of our dogs also has only one eye. Farewell, Gus. You were dealt some rough circumstances by life, but you got lots of love from your final owner, and you're in a better place now.
