Lookin ruff! The World's Ugliest Dog Contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. Ugly mutts flocked to the annual competition vying to be recognized as the most unconventionally beautiful. The event celebrates all dogs and encourages adoption of those who may be overlooked because of their looks. A Chinese Crested pup called Scooted won the competition, with Wild Thang coming a close second. Harold Bartholomew took home 3rd prize and the spirit award. Some of the crowd held up supportive signs for their favorite mutts and a few were spotted wearing ugly dog contest t-shirts and shouting encouragement.
