Wanna piece of this?

Though I haven't lived in Petaluma, CA for almost ten years, I still like to keep up with events like the Ugliest Dog Show, a regular feature of their annual June Sonoma/Marin Fair. Usually the Chinese Crested Hairless dogs are a shoo-in, with their impossibly long tongues, strange naked skin and bizarre Mohawk hairdos. But this year's contest was an upset, with a humble rescue boxer mix named Pabst taking the starring role. Baleful blue eyes, those fearsome lower fangs, that pugnacious expression…How'd you like to meet HIM in a dark alley?

The owners say he's a pussycat. But I've met some pretty fierce pussycats.

He definitely lives up to his new title.

Wow, that's one ugly dog. What an interesting show...and concept.

He looks as if he stepped out of one of those nightmares that set Jiggs's paws a'runnin'.
