A French bulldog mix named Petunia is sitting pretty after being crowned the World's Ugliest Dog for 2025. The curious-looking canine reportedly took home the title this past Friday at the wildly popular annual competition held at the Sonoma County Fair in Santa Rosa, California. Described as a celebration of "the imperfections that make all dogs special and unique," the nearly 50-year-old contest serves to advocate for shelter adoption while showcasing some truly repugnant pooches. Beyond their appearance, the canine contestants are also judged in part on their backstory, which is likely where Petunia won the judges' hearts.
