Watch: Wild Thang is officially the world's ugliest dog
After five tries, Wild Thang was finally crowned the world's ugliest dog.
The eight-year-old Pekingese took part in the 2024 Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California, for the World's Ugliest Dog competition.
He faced seven contenders - the majority are rescued dogs who came from shelters before finding their forever families.
Wild Thang, and his owner Ann Lewis, will receive $5,000 and appear on NBC's The Today Show.
A 14-year-old pug in a wheelchair named Rome came in second place and receives a prize of $3,000. It was Rome's first entry into the contest.
