Sam the World's Ugliest Dog
Chinese crested wins world's ugliest dog contest
Public appearances of "Sam," shown in Santa Barbara on June 28, 2005, and crowned the "World's Ugliest Dog" for three years in a row at the Sonoma-Marin Fair, might be numbered. The 15-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested breed might make his last formal appearance in this Monday's Santa Barbara Fourth of July Parade, according to his owner, Susie Lockheed of Santa Barbara, Calif.
