Meet some of the world’s ugliest dogs
Linda Elmquist, of Tucson, Arizona, smiled broadly as she held her little dog aloft. Finally, Scooter was being recognized for his best qualities on Friday as he was given the title of the world’s ugliest dog.
Scooter, a Chinese crested with sparse hair, a ratlike tail and a tongue that just won’t stay in his mouth, has certainly overcome challenges in his seven years. When he was just a pup, a breeder brought Scooter to animal control in Tucson to have him euthanized. He had been born with hind legs that faced backwards, a condition that seemed to make it certain that he would never walk.
With the help of therapy and a specialized cart, Scooter is able to walk and “has no idea that he is any different from any other dog”, his biography says.
