Ugliest Dog Day
Sometimes unconventional pets become the most popular ones. Who needs a perfect dog when you can have a magically ugly one?
The Ugliest Dog Day, celebrated on the third Friday in June, is a fun event that celebrates the uniqueness and personality of ugly dogs. This day includes competitions where dogs are judged based on their unattractiveness, yet they bring joy and love to their owners. The contest has a long tradition dating back to the 1970s in Petaluma, California. The event also promotes the adoption and care of all dogs, regardless of their appearance.
