A long-tongued Pekingese was crowned the “world's ugliest dog” at a competition in California.
Wild Thang, 8, of Oregon, has participated in the Sonoma-marin Fair contest five times.
Most of the competitors in the 2024 event were rescue dogs.
Wild Thang was diagnosed with canine distemper, which prevented the growth of his teeth and caused a muscle disorder in his leg, when he was a puppy.
Wild Thang and his owner Ann Lewis will receive $5,000 and an appearance on NBC's The Today Show.
