Meet Mr. Happy Face! 🐶
A bunch of ugly dogs got together in Petaluma, California to compete in the World's Ugliest Dog Contest.
Jeneda Benally's dog, Mr. Happy Face, was crowned ugliest of them all. Benally adopted the dog from an Arizona shelter after he was rescued from a hoarder’s house. Benally said she was told by veterinarians that he would likely only have about a month to live due to tumors and other medical conditions. Now, at age 17, he's a winner.
“When I first met him, he was the happiest creature that I had ever met. He hobbled up to me and chose me. I vowed that day, he would be so loved that he would never remember how awful his previous life had been. Love, kindness and mommy kisses have helped him defy the anticipated short life that we all expected him to have with our family."
Mr. Happy Face won first place in the competition and took home a $1500 prize.
