World's ugliest dog finally kicks the bucket.

As in this one?



Finally dead. The world is now safe from his gap-toothed, evil-eyed brand of pure horror.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- A celebrity pooch named Sam has died.

With a hairless body, crooked teeth and a tiny tuft of hair on his knobby head, Sam was billed as the ugliest dog in the world.

Owner Susie Lockheed said he died Friday, just short of his 15th birthday.

Sam, who had his own Web site at SamUgliestDog.com, first captured ugliest-dog honors at a California fair in 2003 and had won the contest both years since.


He was a purebred Chinese crested hairless and his looks made him an international celebrity. He made the British tabloids and was on TV in Japan. And, somehow or other, Sam was even on the radio in New Zealand.

He also once compared hair with the famously coifed Donald Trump.

On top of that, there were Sam T-shirts, calendars and coffee mugs. And he had three doggie pals: TatorTot, TinkerBell and PixieNoodle.

The scariest part is that it's a purebred.... someone actually bred dogs to look like that.


....that and his dozen extra claws.

I think. (And by think, I mean "hope to any benevolent being Up There.") that that's his rear leg overlapping his front leg.


I really hope.

And no, that's the inbred nightmare version. My folks actually had a Crested for a while, and while it was ugly, it had nothing on this monstrosity.

That's about the same reason I have to post one of those damn pictures any time I see Sam come up in the news. Just for the shock value.
