Looking Ruff: World's Ugliest Dog Contest

A HUNCHBACKED mutt named Quasi Modo has been crowned the world's ugliest dog. The crossbreed, which has a shortened spine that makes it resemble a hyena, beat 26 other finalists to the award during the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California, today (June 26). Chief judge Brian Sobel said he'd 'epitomised excellence in ugliness'. As well as scooping $1500 for his owner, Quasi Modo, from Loxahatchee, Florida, will get a full makeover on Jimmy Kimmel Live and attend media events in New York and San Francisco.
