Apparently, the world's largest ugly dog contest is held every year at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, CA.
What's not to love about ugly dogs? Worst in Show amazes us with nature's diversity. Who knew there were so many ways to be ugly? Ugly is manifested via genetics, injury, and illness. What starts out as a happy freak show evolves into philosophical ruminations on morality. Kind of reminds me of an old Twilight Zone theme. The dogs don't know they're ugly, they're just basking in the attention. We meet a lot of quirky pet guardians. Some appear to be beyond emotionally involved in this supposedly light-hearted contest. Rivalries are revealed, hearts are broken, and lives are literally transformed.
A quick google reveals an obsessive amount of international press at this annual anti-beauty contest. There's a lot of intellectualism packed into this 90 minutes, but admit it, don't you want to see what their owner's look like?
