Mirror, mirror, on the wall …
Who’s the ugliest of them all?
We won’t know that until after June 24 when a panel of judges at the Sonoma-Marin Fair will select the World’s Ugliest Dog from the 21 pooches vying for the honor.
Until then, we can vote. Our votes don’t count. But we can vote.
In online voting, the top two contenders so far are Icky, who won the online voting last year, and Cuda.
Icky was rescued from an animal hoarder, and won three ugliest dog contests before the age of one.
In doing so, he helped raise more than $1,600 for Sacramento charities. Icky co-stars in the film “Worst In Show,” which is about the ugly dog contest circuit.
Cuda, from Durham, N.C., is described by her owner as a pit bull-gargoyle mix. She was born deformed, with a curved spine and front legs of two different lengths
Her shoulders jut forward, her neck has limited movement and her tail “doesn’t even look like it’s attached correctly.” On top of all that, she has a severe underbite and snorts like a pig.
“She is the kindest and gentlest dog ever and has been given a clean bill of health by the vet. She is not in pain,” her owner says. “…I want her to have the opportunity to show the world that even deformed dogs are beautiful.”
You can see all the contenders and vote here.

Ugly on the outside, maybe – but no doubt beautiful on the inside.
