'Ugliest Dog' Gaining Cult Status

A dog deemed the ugliest dog in the world has become a canine celebrity and is quickly becoming a cult status online since his mug was put on a Los Angeles newspaper, according to a Local 6 News report.

Sam, a 14-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested, won the World's Ugliest Dog contest for the third time in June.

Since his third contest win, Sam has inspired several Web sites, blogs and even an Internet comic strip.

Web sites are even selling Sam memorabilia and attempting contests to find an even uglier dog than Sam, according to the report.

Also, the Internet myth debunking site, Snopes.com, has Sam's story as a "true" status.

Another Web site cheered the fact that Sam is neutered, saying, "We do not want another Son Of Sam."

Sam's owner, Susie Lockheed, 53, said her dog is an accident of breeding, Local 6 News reported. Lockheed took Sam in five years ago when he was considered not adoptable.

"Sometimes other dogs don't seem to quite know if he's a canine," Lockheed said. "They have to have a good sniff."

For more pics on this vision of loveliness, see my post on the "Look Who's at the Door" thread posted the other night.

I hesitated posting this to the MAIN page, michaelteever, because Sam's something-else-ain't-he and didn't want to shock anyone here. ;) So, I guess you don't care, eh? :groucho:

Neutering probably unnecessary. Not even his mother loves him.

Don't think you need much more then this for a "watch dog"

Even after the dog expires...have'm stuffed and mounted...with the right lighting...

you would still have a very fomadble (looking) "watch dog."

Just Is,

That's where I found the story. On fark, it's been one of my bookmarks for awhile now. They do come up with interesting, off the wall stories. More of a college type humor, but some good news catchs just the same.

http://www.fark.com

You can never have enough sources for interesting news. Warning though, it is definitely an "R" rated site, so beware... :p

Kind of sad, really, IMO. This animal is '98' in dog years. He appears
to be in constant pain and is obviously blind. They highlighted
other features today, on CNN, like the huge hernia on it's hip and
what's left of this poor animal's teeth.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I really think that animals deserve
a life with dignity and without suffering, and when that is gone....

Poor dog!!!! I noticed in one pic that he had 3 dewclaws on the front foot that is visible in the photo. The poor animal looks like a pretty good example of how genetics can go wrong, very wrong, when we try to tweek a breed to look a specific way.

PS - one of my friends has a Chinese Crested who is really cute & very smart. He's a very cool little dog.
