California mutt wins 'ugliest dog' contest
The judges at the Sonoma-Marin County Fair in California gave the award Sunday to Pabst, a boxer-mix shelter dog from Citrus Heights, over Rascal, whose breed has dominated the Ugliest Dog competition in recent years, contest officials said in a release.
Pabst was given his name because he had a "bitter beer face", said owner Miles Egstad, a first-time contestant. Fair officials say Pabst quickly won over the crowd and the judges soon followed.
Egstad won $1,600 from the Sonoma-Marin Fair for sweeping all three rounds -- $100 for mutt class, $500 for runoff with the pedigree class winner and $1,000 for World's Ugliest Dog.
"We were looking for dogs who were naturally ugly," and Pabst was, fair board member and contest judge Brian Sobel said.

A picture would have been nice so we could decide on our own.
