Princess Abby, a hunchback, one-eyed chihuahua was declared the World’s Ugliest Dog this weekend at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in California. Her two-legged friend, Kathleen Francis, took home $1,600 in prize money and Princess Abby took home a shiny blue ribbon. The contest is part of a dog lover’s festival, which celebrated all pups (not just the ugly ones!). Dogs attended a cuisine party with organic dog food chef Mary Duffy, and while their dogs chowed down, the owners could go to seminars on adoption and training. Even cooler, most of the dog day events were sponsored by the local branch of the Humane Society. Happily, Princess Abby remains unfazed. Dogs are not worried about appearance.
