Miss Ellie, famed for winning the
2009 World's Ugliest Dog contest, passed away at the ripe old age of 17. She was a
Chinese Crested Hairless, which apparently is a breed that quite often wins this competition.
.
With a lolling tongue
(it hangs out because she no longer has any teeth), and a vacant stare
(due to cataracts and then blindness), she is a darling of a dog.
.
One of her prizes reportedly was a makeover. Given her
"after" picture above, and her
"before" picture below
(from a couple of years ago IIRC), it is obvious that the groomers did a marvelous job.
.
Her ribbon is technically in the
"pedigree" category. Overall, she lost out to a to a boxer-mix named
"Pabst", shown below. While I admit that Pabst probably sets the record for
"worst underbite ever", he is not a particularly ugly dog. Methinks Miss Ellie wuz robbed of the grand title.
