Gus--The World's Ugliest Dog

Gus has been named the World's Ugliest Dog at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in California this year. He may be ugly as the day is long, but the little fella is quite a fighter:

"He had been kept in a crate inside a garage for a year when we found him. He wasn't socialised and his nails had grown to the point where he couldn't walk.

"When we got him he was four-legged, two-eyed and his ears stood up straight but he was in a bad way.

"He quickly developed hematoma in one ear and when that was stitched down his ear crinkled over.

In December 2006 Gus was diagnosed with skin cancer after patches of dry skin developed on his body and his legs became ulcerated.

The condition deteriorated so much he had to have his back left leg removed and he was given just six- to nine months to live.

Jeanenne and her children Janey, 16, and Tommy, 14, decided to act and opted for doggy chemotherapy.

"In total it cost the family $5,000.

What a wonderful story. I love Gus, and his family are pretty great too.


And now look at the silly goose, he's wearing a tank top...hahahaha...Gus, you are a SCREAM!
