Elwood (dog)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elwood is the 2007 winner of the World's Ugliest Dog Contest, and had come in second in the contest the year before. His owner is Karen Quigley, a resident of Sewell, New Jersey. He is a two year old Chinese Crested chihuahua mixed breed.

[edit] History

Elwood was rescued as a result of an NJ SPCA investigation. He was shivering, had a runny nose, and was making strange sounds when Karen came over to see him. Elwood still makes these strange noises.

[edit] Personality

Elwood is said to be a friendly dog, and kind when you get to know him.

[edit] Appearance

Elwood has a short muzzle, white hair on his head, big eyes and a tongue that hangs out of his mouth, a trait shared by a lot of the other dogs in the contest.
