Petunia, a 2 -year -old French -free French Bulldog chick was declared the winner of the contest “The worst dog in the world”, which took place on Friday in the Californian city of Santa Rosa, according to Agerpres. The contest has been taking place in the city since the 1970s.
The owner, Shannon Nyman, in the state of Oregon, accepted the $ 5,000 prize on behalf of Petunia, which has short and pepper and wrinkled legs, reports DPA.
The second place was occupied by Jinny Lu, a 5 -year -old PUG with a crooked and prominent language, which competed without success in the 2023 competition. This time, the owner Michelle Gray has taken a prize of $ 3,000.
Poppy, a 7 -year -old Chinese ridge dog with lots of fur -free skin, won the third prize of $ 2,000.
The dogs were presented on a stage in front of an ecstatic audience, and the jury voted according to appearance, personality and the public reaction.
Petunia and Nyman also won a flight to New York to appear on Monday at the Today Show show at the NBC.
Last year winner was Wild Thang, a Pechinez with a prominent language as a result of a contracted virus when he was chickens.
The organizers of the competition insist that ugliness is not the only feature pursued and that the more attractive sides of the dogs are evaluated. Many of them come from animal shelters, and the contest aims to encourage adoption rather than ridicule.
