Wild Thang Crowned World's Ugliest Dog

Wild Thang, an eight-year-old Pekingese from Coos Bay, Oregon, has won this year's World's Ugliest Dog contest. Despite being diagnosed with canine distemper at just 10 weeks old, Wild Thang has thrived and become a beloved competitor in the annual competition. According to reports, most of the dogs that participate in the contest come from shelters before being adopted, and Wild Thang is no exception. In fact, he has been rescued multiple times and has even moved to Oregon to enjoy his retirement.
