Scooter, a seven-year-old Chinese crested dog, won the world’s ugliest dog top prize at an annual competition on Saturday in Petaluma, California.
“Scooter was born backwards, so he’s an amazing dog. He walks on his front legs all the time and sometimes uses his hind legs as a tripod,” says Linda Elmquist, owner of Scooter.
“Each dog, even if it is not the most beautiful in the world, is beautiful. And if you take anything away from it, it’s that each one of them is magnificent,” she adds.
The organizers of the event want to promote adoption for these dogs that no one wants.
