Ugly truth about new TV top dog
EVERY dog has its day...even Mugly, officially the world’s ugliest hound.
For the eight-year-old rescue dog from Peterborough, Cambs is to have his own TV show.
A Channel 5 documentary entitled Mutt Ugly records his journey to the World’s Ugliest Dog contest in northern
California a week ago where he beat 28 other pooches from around the globe to scoop his title, along with an £800 cash prize and a year’s supply of dog biscuits.
The show captures the final stages of the contest when the nerves begin to build and Mugly’s owner, Bev Nicholson,
49, is left stunned by his success.

relationships with other contestants and the pressures of fame at the annual competition.
