World’s Ugliest Dog
// August 29th, 2005 // My Stuff
For three years running Sam has won the San Francisco Sonoma-Marin Fair’s“World’s Ugliest Dog” competition. I’ve been meaning to blog this ever since my father-in-law Brian showed it to me a week ago. The pictures really say it all. Is there a single endearing characteristic about this animal?
I searched around a lot, but could not find any of the runners-up out there. I have no doubt that this is undeniably the world’s ugliest. However, apparently his health is fading so I wonder what the competition will grace us with in years to come.
This UK site claims to have some ugly dogs, but they just don’t compare.
Well, anyway, here’s all the pictures I turned up of this handsome devil.


UPDATE:
So Matt brought up a good point in a comment, is this a friendly creature? Well, no not really. I found the owners blog site and Sam’s site.
From her site:
I invite anyone with complaints to come and see how absolutly adored and well cared for this dog is and to touch his leg and see how little it takes to get him snarly. One time, SAM came SCREAMING into the house dragging his back leg..I dropped the dish I was carrying and thought he had gotten out and been hit by a car or something. When I caught up with him in the bedroom he was looking back at his back leg and screaming and growling..WELL…there was a post-it note stuck on his rump..he had sat on it on the sofa and it stuck. The last thing in the world I would do is hurt SAM but it does NOT take much to get him growling//usually he just does it on his own anyway!

People should NOT make fun of Sam.The people that
are making fun of him need to just shut up.He is
one of God’s creatures like us.Whoever said Sam
looks like a demon from hell is wrong.I think Sam is cute.But I’m really sorry he passed away.I’ve had lots of dogs pass away and it is sad.He’ll probably be
happier in heaven though.
I think Nicole is right.People should not make fun
of Sam.The people that made rude comments are really mean.I’m sorry that Sam died.Hopefully Sam
is happy in heaven.
R.I.P.SAM

He is lucky to have an owner like you

i am 9 and i think that nomader what the animal looks like in shouldent be treated wrong or commented meanly.
sam is the ugliest friggen dog in the world and all of u who think he is cute are meesed up and sick BUT dont get mad at me its not a bad thing for him to be ugly it gave him massive publicity and being ugly dosent make u bad it matter of whats on the inside and all u who say he is cute are ugly on the inside because u want to judge people who think he is ugly and u want to feel good about urself for trying to stand up for SAM because u know u need it because ur mean so……ur kindof sayin mean stuff to ur self so u suck emos……..R.I.P SAM u were a great dog

dis dogs on ih! well uglyy!!
ur dog is ugly as fuck he need to get hit by a car and die
what a piece of shit
What an ugly piece of shit. It needs drowning. Any person who says it is cute is a sick-fuck and is too much of a pussy to admit that it is an ugly piece of shit.
these dogs are so fukin ugly how can u say their cute people ugh!!!
man thet dog is creappy and ugly aaaaaaaaaaaa
that is the ulgyest dog ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyone that says you should get hit for being ugly should die a slow painful death, you jackasses. all of you are uglier on the inside for wishing harm on something because of its appearance
that dog is a alien or it is fake if i seen that dog id blow its fuckin head off
