Celebrating the imperfections that make all dogs special and unique, a hairless English-French bulldog mix named Petunia has been crowned the winner of the 2025 World’s Ugliest Dog contest.
The 2-year-old pup, from Eugene, Ore., and her owner, Shannon Nyman, walked away with a $5,000 prize — and of course, bragging rights — during the event at the Sonoma County Fair in Santa Rosa, Calif., on Friday, Aug. 8.
