The BBC reported on the ‘World’s Ugliest Dog Competition’. You can see a video of the winner here: World’s ugliest dog crowned.

If you just want to see a photo – here is the winner.

Of course he doesn’t hold a candle to the 3 times winner Sam (who only didn’t win because he died – if he were alive there is no question that he would have been the winner paws down).

You can see all the entrants over here (I think it is too late to actually vote, but you can look at the photos)

There is an important message here (apart from yet further evidence that Americans are from a different planet than everyone else – a competition for ugly dogs???). Lovable and cute are not necessarily seen from the outside. It is what is inside that counts. In the words of Frank-n-Furter “Don’t judge a book by its cover”.

Labels and other externals are only what we see. What a person, or a dog really is, we have to discover for ourselves.

And remember, that G-d loves even the ugly dogs!
