Wild Thang, an 8-year-old Pekingese from Oregon, won the 2024 World's Ugliest Dog contest held at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. This annual event promotes adopting dogs from shelters rather than breeders. Wild Thang had competed in the contest four previous times, placing second three times before finally winning first place this year. The contest's three winners, including Rome and Daisy Mae, collectively took home $10,000. The event celebrates the beauty of individuality and the unbreakable spirit of these remarkable canines.
