| Ugly Mugg with a Big Heart ! |
Elwood, a dog so homely that he was crowned world's ugliest dog in 2007, has died.
Elwood's owner, Karen Quigley of Sewell, N.J., said he died unexpectedly on
Thanksgiving morning. The pooch was 8 years old.
The chihuahua and Chinese crested mix initially was so
"ugly" he was nearly put down, according to Quigley's website.
However Elwood's distinctive looks,
became an asset when he won his
a year after he had finished second.
After his win Elwood quickly gained fans, who called him Yoda or E.T., and was
even the main character in a children's book called "Everyone Loves Elwood."
Elwood traveled extensively appearing at over 200 events to help raise funds for homeless and neglected animals. His death leaves an empty place in his family's home and a lost angel for area non-profit animal organizations and rescue groups. His ugly mugg and big heart will be missed..........
