A Chinese Crested canine named Scooter is sitting pretty after being crowned the World's Ugliest Dog for 2023. The animal reportedly took home the top prize last Friday afternoon at the annual celebration for unsightly pooches held at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. Born seven years ago with a pair of deformed back legs, Scooter was originally set to be euthanized before being rescued by an animal welfare group which sought to prevent such an untimely and unfortunate fate befalling the creature. The dog was ultimately taken in by his owner, Linda Elmquist, who provided him a loving home as well as a special cart that allows him to travel with relative ease.
