Scooter, a 7-year-old Chinese Crested dog, has won the World’s Ugliest Dog contest in Petaluma, California.
Meet Scooter: He has reversed hind legs, is nearly bald, and has a pink, wayward tongue drooping from his mouth.
* He was born with hind leg deformities that hindered his ability to walk.
The competition’s purpose: The nearly 50-year-old event celebrates “the imperfections that make all dogs special” and advocates for adoption.
* Scooter faced euthanasia for his deformity but was saved by a volunteer from the Saving Animals From Euthanasia (SAFE) rescue group.
This year’s victory: When Scooter gets tired from navigating on his two front legs, he can now use a new cart to help him zoom around the park.
