The beholder sees beauty in the eye. Mutant dogs are made to compete not for prestigious titles but for the infamy of being crowned World's Ugliest Dog because of the fact that a puffball-covered insult to god can emerge as champion of the dog show. It is unfair. All dogs, no matter what their origins are, deserve our love. We want you to argue that Mr. Happy Face doesn't deserve to win this year's contest.
The winner of the first World's Ugliest Dog event was a pair of brooms called Wild Thang and Monkey. The tongue hanging out beneath two black eyes and a clump of patchy white hair makes it clear how this dog got the honor.
It was thanks to a piece from Today that we learned how Mr. Happy Face came to be. He had been living through years of abuse and neglect when he was found by his owner at a shelter in Arizona. Mr. Happy Face was afflicted with tumors and could have been inbred. He was only expected to live for a month after he was 17 years old.
Mr. Happy Face did not give up. After heobbled up to her at the shelter, she said she would love him so much that he would forget how bad his previous life had been.
Despite being a testament to how the myth of the chupacabra came to be, Mr. Happy Face and Banelly seem to be happy. She believes that her dog will help humans realize that even old dogs need love and a family.
