A Chinese Crested cross Chihuahua mix named Mr. Happy Face has won the World’s Ugliest Dog competition in Petaluma, California. Owner Jeneda Benally and her dog won the $1,500 grand prize and a trip to New York City to be on NBC’s Today show. Benally, who lives in Flagstaff, Arizona, was in California to record a radio show about indigenous youth and entered Mr. Happy Face on a whim. Benally adopted Mr. Happy Face 10 months ago when she asked the shelter workers to bring her the “oldest and most unadoptable dog.”
