Hi pals, Just read about this contest...what next? It was funny to read ,but felt a trifle sad that here we humans are finding amusement at a poor doggies appearance .Who is to blame anyway ...we humans ofcourse .Experimenting with all the criss crossing of three / four breeds to get a result like poor Walle.As I read thru I felt reassured since he has a very loving owner who thinks he is the cutest doggie .And anyway winning the contest must have boosted his morale no doubt !. He reminded me so much of my own Basset Hound Juju. World's Ugliest Dog Contest 2013: Beagle-boxer-basset hound takes top prize Walle was a last-minute entrant in the 25th annual World’s Ugliest Dog competition and scooped the title from the 29 other contenders due to his huge head, short thick stature and a duck waddle, officials wrote on the contest’s official Facebook page. "This dog looked like he's been photoshopped with pieces from various dogs and maybe a few other animals," judge Brian Sobel said, adding that his waddle-like walk was something that impressed judges. “People come up to me and say that dog is not right, but I love him,” Walle’s owner Tammie Barbee told Associated Press, adding that she has had him since he was a three-month-old puppy. Apart from a trophy, Walle walked away with $1,500 for winning the title, and is set to make several television appearances. According to the contest’s official Facebook page, Walle will appear on the ‘Weekend Today’ on Sunday and the ‘Today Show’ on Monday. He is also set to feature on the ‘Jimmy Kimmel Show’ on Wednesday. WALLE WINS! 2013 World's Ugliest Dog® Contest Winner - YouTube
Paulina Its really sad that such contests are held.... I think that dog's really cute and its definitely not ugly. In my view "Every living being is beautiful"
this is very bad .. people do anything for advertising .. . Common people should not support any such contests .. They should not reserve any tickets for these shows ..
