Sad news hit the animal world this week as we learned that Yoda, winner of the 2011 World’s Ugliest Dog competition, passed away. According to KSEE News, the Chinese crested and Chihuahua mix died peacefully in her sleep Saturday




Cross-post from Pets to see if I can do it.

7. Poor baby

They loved her. I saw her on TV.

A good dog is a wonderful thing to have.

8. yes, I'm snuggling my baby right now.

Yoda looks like a pomeranian or perhaps pom/chihuahua mix who was born with deformities.

My Shrimpy is a pom, she's in my sig pic...she only weighs 5 pounds.

12. She looks angelic!

My girl is some kind of herding dog, BC Mix or Aussie Mix, the debate on that hasn't been resolved. Furry, fast, and full of love

10. A dubious distinction for the Chinese Crested breed

They appear to be well-represented in the 'ugly' category.

16. Some of those at the link are actually kind of cute

The second one down in your post looks like a terrifying demon. lol

[pinboy3niner]

11. Ugly is in the Eye of the Beholder.

I thought she was wonderful!

May Peace be with her loving family - she will be waiting for them on the other side of the bridge.

14. Very true

When I was a kid, I had a pair of brown shoes. I didn't like the color, so I tried applying black shoe polish to them. The result was really ugly. But the more I looked at them,the more I warmed up to my 'ugly' shoes. Those f'd up shoes became my favorites. They were so ugly, they were beautiful to me. Go figure...

And those were inanimate objects. A living thing, no matter how 'ugly' it may appear to us, is beautiful in its own right.

I can laugh at those champion 'ugly' dogs. But if he or she were mine, that dog would be a loved and prized companion.

15. & I totally get that they love those dogs.

If you ever get a chance to go to that 'competition' - take it.

Lot of wonderful people who take joy in their dogs.
