World's Ugliest Dogs

by Vicki Dearmon

Overview

The annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair attracts "so-ugly-they’re-cute" contestants, their devoted owners, and hundreds of thousands of fans, both in person and via worldwide media attention. This book--filled with hilarious photos as well as short profiles of the dogs and their owners--captures the wacky and wonderful spirit of the original contest just in time for its 25th year. Meet the well-loved dogs who soak up the glory of the contest while their owners sniff out the competition, make double-entendre comments, and see who can lift one’s leg higher around the hydrant of publicity. World’s Ugliest Dog photo galleries have run on Yahoo, The Huffington Post, People Magazine, Animal Nation and more, to huge response. This book will likewise appeal to any dog lover with a sense of humor.
