The ugliest dog of the year was chosen in the USA
Pekingese Wild Teng was recognized as the ugliest dog of the year. BBC writes about it .
According to the publication, the dog always has a detached tongue, due to the fact that at the age of 10 he suffered from the plague. Due to the disease, the dog's teeth did not grow anymore and the muscles do not work properly anymore.
Teng is participating in the competition for the fifth time, although this is his first victory. The dog and its owner will receive 5 thousand dollars as a reward.
The competition to identify the world's ugliest dog has been held in Petalum, California for 50 years. According to the organizers of the event, the competition helps defective dogs find their owners and shows that all dogs deserve love.
