HAIRY DOGS ...

Dear readers, this week we’re looking at dogs - ‘H’ IS FOR *H*AIRY – AND WORLD’S UGLIEST DOGS!
A British dog named Mugly has beaten some very stiff – and unattractive – competition to be crowned the World’s Ugliest Dog. The Chinese crested canine’s short snout, beady eyes and white whiskers earned it the esteemed title at the annual contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in California (below) recently.
Mugly – an eight-year-old rescue dog who was named Britain’s ugliest dog in 2005 – won the honour by beating 28 other dogs of questionable beauty from around the world, including ones named Handsome Hector, Creature, Rue, Icky, Spam-O-Rama, and Mouse.
Here are some images from the contest:
