Zsa Zsa, the English bulldog, wins World's Ugliest Dog title

PETALUMA, Calif. — An English bulldog has fetched the crown in the 2018 World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma, California.

According to The Associated Press, Zsa Zsa, a 9-year-old pooch from Anoka, Minnesota, won the pageant Saturday, beating out more than a dozen less-than-pretty pups for the $1,500 grand prize.

According to the event's website, Zsa Zsa "was a puppy mill dog for five years in Missouri, and instead of placing her in a loving home at her end of breeding, she was put in a dog auction." After Underdog Rescue saved the uncomely canine, current owner Megan Brainard found her on Petfinder and adopted her.
