Rascal was our favorite to win in the Ugly Dog category at the Del Mar Ugly Dog contest last Sunday, and win he did! To the delight of Rascal’s owner Dane Andrew, Rascal (a hairless Chinese Crested) won the coveted title of 2010 World’s Ugliest Dog.

SanDiegoSunCoast.com sponsored the Ugly Dog Category, so I had the honor of presenting the winning trophy to both Rascal and Dane. Victory never looked so good!
