World's Ugliest?


Meet Yoda, this year's winner of the World's Ugliest Dog contest.  Did you even know that there was such a contest?  It's held ever year in Petaluma, California at the Sonoma Marin County Fair, and this year was the 23rd year of the contest.  Yoda is a 14 year old Chinese crested Chihuahua mix.  As the grand prize winner, he gets a trophy and $1000!

Check out more pictures and see some of Yoda's competition below!

Do you think that Yoda deserved to win?  Are these dogs all truly ugly?  It's simply a matter of opinion!  You be the judge!
