On June 23, a seven-year-old Chinese crested canine was crowned the winner of the 2023 Ugliest Dog contest.
Scooter, owned by Linda Elmquist, won a cash prize of $1,500 and a trophy.
He was crowned at the event held at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in California’s Petaluma.
The winner of the 2023 title stayed with a man from the rescue group for about seven years.
Scooter was unfortunately born with deformed hind legs and was rescued by the Saving Animals From Euthanasia (SAFE) rescue group.
Scooter, whose pink tongue hangs from his mouth, loves braunschweiger sausage.
Scooter walks and runs happily with the help of a cart, and as per his biography, he has no idea that he is any different from other dogs.
Mr. Happy Face was the winner of the title in 2022.
