Annual contest elects the ugliest dog in the world

Maybe you have heard about an annual contest that elects the ugliest dog in the world, right? As we here at Mega Curioso commented in a previous article about this event - which you can check out this link - participants must go through a pre-selection so that the organizers can establish if they really are dogs, and the winner, besides be crowned, still receive a cash prize.

Peculiar look

For the big winner of this year's contest - which is now in its 27th edition - has already been announced, and it is a dog named Quasi Modo that is a mix of Dutch-shepherd and pit bull. The animal is 10 years old and was born with a defect in the spine that made him so ... kind of weird, and was elected the ugliest among a total of 24 participants. Take a look at the look of the animal:

According to Suman Varandani of the International Business Times portal, Quasi Modo was abandoned in an animal shelter because of his peculiar appearance, but luckily was adopted by a Florida vet. According to the owner, the dog has already scared a lot of people during their walks - and he has even been mistaken for a hyena and even a Tasmanian devil! Poor thing.

In addition to the title, Quasi Modo took home a prize of $ 1, 500 - or close to $ 5, 000 - and then you can meet some of the contestants who competed with him during the competition. Check out:
