00:00The world's ugliest dog is Wild Thing!
00:13Wow, look at that! Wild Thing! Look at that tone on full display!
00:18Wild Thing was a fan favorite and the fact that he had been competing for five times and only came in second
00:25is kind of like the bridesmaid and never the bride. I think, you know, really tugged at our heartstrings that, you know, he deserved to win.
00:32He's never had a haircut, so that is like the way he is and she shaves his stomach and he likes to sleep on ice packs, believe it or not.
00:40And he is just a sweet dog. I was just holding him and he loves to be held and cuddled, so that's part of it.
00:46You know, these rescue dogs, they just need forever home, so please adopt, don't shop.
00:51He did it! He won at the contest show! Number five!
01:00He survived!
