How many years has the 'World's Ugliest Dog' contest been around? How many contestants did it attract this year?
The contest has been running for 26 years in the Sonoma Country Fair in Santa Rosca, and this year 29 dogs came to "The Worlds Ugliest Dog"
How did this year's winner Peanut get his 'ugly' looks?
Peanut was badly burnt in a fire, causing him to lose his lips, body hair, and eyelids. His eyes constantly water as he can't blink. His teeth and his strange looks cause him to look "Ugly"
What is the organiser's main purpose for organising this unusual competition?
An animal psychiatrist organised the event, so she can check that the dogs are healthy, well looked after, and happy. The competition is a way to honour the dogs, that are mostly looking strange because of animal abuse. It shows people that you can still love animals that are different, and they can love you back.
I think it alright. It suits the occasion, but may be a little bit mean for the dogs, even if it its true. I would change it to something like Special, or Unique. Different. Just something I little less mean.
