This instantly recognisable pooch is Chinese Crested Hairless, Sam, the once official ‘Ugliest Dog in the World’ and unofficial ‘Ugliest Dog Ever’!
Sadly this role model for dogs across the world died in 2006. Through his celebrity status Sam made better the lives of many rescue dogs. He made people realise that a picture perfect manicured pooch is no better than one who has a few wonky features and the odd battle scar. Numbers of dogs who previously had difficulty finding a home were given a second chance in life.
The title Ugliest Dog might sound a little cruel. And of course Sam is not ugly at all, no dog is ugly! Sam, like all dogs deep down, was fun loving, affectionate and kind.
Sam is a great lesson to us all. A legendary dog showing us that looks don’t matter. With dogs, as with people, it’s what’s on the inside that we really loveJ
