Pekingese Wild Thang Wins 2024 World's Ugliest Dog Contest

The 8-year-old dog from Oregon finally claims the title after five attempts, highlighting the charm of 'perfectly imperfect' pets.

Wild Thang, a Pekingese with distinctive looks, won a $5,000 prize at the Sonoma-Marin Fair.
The contest promotes adopting shelter dogs, especially senior pets.
Runner-up Rome, a wheelchair-bound pug, also won the 'People’s Choice' award.
The event emphasizes the beauty and resilience of dogs with unique appearances.
Wild Thang will appear on NBC's 'Today' show to celebrate his victory.
