On Friday June 21st,2017,the folks at the annual Sonoma County Fair in California celebrated the 25th anniversary of a rather unusual contest—one that crowns the “World's Ugliest Dog”! And while in most settings a title like this would be considered insulting (无礼的) herer the world and the visitors that come to cheer the contestants.
To mark this special anniversary,this year's fair that was themed “Dog Days of Summer” featured among other things,including an exhibit featuring the contestants and winners from the last 25 years.
As for the winner? Unlike last year,when he had flown in all the way from London,England,this year's title winner was Chico,California resident Walle,who beat out 29 other equally “ugly contestants”. The refreshing part was that Walle,who happened to be a last minute entrant(参赛者)
The four-year-old impressed the judges with his giant head and humped back. As one of them put it
Along with the title,the first time entrant received a cash prize of $1,500 as well as scheduled appearances on NBC's weekend Today on Sunday,the Today Show on Monday and the Jimmy Kimmel Show on Wednesday.
Though the competition may seem unbelievable to some people,it is held just for fun and organized by an animal psychiatrist who not only vets the dogs before they enter the competition to ensure they are healthy,but also has a “pet” talk with them to ensure they are also happy. It is also important to remember all the contestants come from homes where they are loved because of their rather unusual looks. After all,beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
