Among the many intellectual and artistic pursuits enjoyed by us culture vultures at Asylum, the annual World's Ugliest Dog contest has to be among the highlights.This year's contest was recently held in Northern California, and while we weren't on the scene for a live satellite link up, we were following events avidly from afar.
This year's eventual winner was a boxer-mix named Pabst, who features a terrible underbite, silly ears and an extremely awkward gait. Still, Pabst's victory was something of a surprise, since former champion Rascal has, if anything, become only uglier still in the last twelve months.
Miles Egstad, Pabst's owner, took home $1,600 (around $2,000) for his win, and also won a modelling contract with something called 'House of Dog'.
