A Tail of Triumph in Imperfection

In a celebration of diversity and the beauty of imperfection, NBC's Kerry Sanders graced the judging panel of the 2022 World's Ugliest Dog contest on Friday, June 24th.

A Fierce Competition

Dogs of all sizes, shapes, and backgrounds gathered at this year's contest, each vying for the coveted title. The bar was set high, but one hairless creature with a crooked spine emerged as the champion.

Mr. Happy Face, the Undeniable Winner

Amidst the diverse array of canine contestants, Mr. Happy Face, a 17-year-old Chinese Crested-Chihuahua mix, stole the hearts of the judges and the audience alike. His unique appearance, including his hairless body and protruding rib cage, earned him the title of the 2022 World's Ugliest Dog.
