On June 26th, 2015, over five hundred people attended the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma, California. Most of the twenty-seven canine contestants were former shelter dogs, raising awareness of the need for “furever” homes (one of the benefits of this competition). The winning pooch, Quasi Modo, received a check for $1500, and will soon be whisked off to New York on a media tour followed by a makeover on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
This is all very well and good – and congrats, Quasi – but here at Bigstock we don’t believe there is such a thing as an ugly dog. We believe in finding the beauty in every beast. So, without further ado, we proudly present the most “non-traditionally gorgeous” dogs in our royalty-free photo collection. Enjoy.
