Sam - The World's Ugliest Dog Dies at 14 - Ugliest Dog!

Frightening huh?! Thats Sam - the three-time winner of the World's Ugliest Dog... and rightfully so. That is on atrociously ugly dog! Sam looks more like Splinter from the Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles... but even so, he'd likely win the World's Ugliest Rat rather than Ugliest Dog. Here's the putrid story:

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Sam, the tiny dog whose hairless body and crooked teeth earned him a reputation as the World's Ugliest Dog, has died.

The pooch died Friday, just short of his 15th birthday, his owner said.

Sam won the ugliest dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair this summer for the third year in a row. The pedigreed Chinese crested had made appearances on TV in Japan, radio in New Zealand and in Britain's Daily Mirror tabloid. He also had met Donald Trump on a talk show set.
