Poor Pup R.I.P.
I always thought it was mean in the first place. He probably didn't feel well yet his owner is dragging him here and there......

World’s ugliest dog dies after battle with cancer

GULFPORT, Fla. - A one-eyed, three-legged dog that won the title of world’s ugliest pooch this summer has died.

The St. Petersburg Times in Florida reports that Gus, a Chinese crested dog, had cancer. He was 9.

Gus was rescued from a bad home and went on to win the annual World’s Ugliest Dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in northern California.

Gus came from humble origins. According to the fair, his adopted family in Gulfport, Fla., rescued him after learning he was being kept in a crate inside someone’s garage.

He had one leg amputated because of a skin tumor and lost an eye in a cat fight.

Gus’ owner had said the prize money from the contest would be put toward the dog’s radiation treatment.

Thank the good lord that the lil pooch is finally out of his misery. I mean, would you really want to go around bearing the title of World's Ugliest Dog?


On a side note, lynchembaby will now inherit that title as he was 1st runner up in that contest.
