Photos From The 2015 World’s Ugliest Dog Contest

The World’s Ugliest Dong contest took place at the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds in Petaluma, California, is in its 27th year.

According to the organisers, the dogs are scored by a three-judge panel in several categories, including special or unusual attributes, personality and natural ugliness.

This year, a 10-year-old mutt named Quasi Modo, whose spinal birth defects left her a bit hunchbacked, is the winner of the contest. The pit bull-Dutch shepherd mix and her owner took the $1,500 prize Friday night, besting 25 other dogs competing in the contest.
