Petunia doesn’t look like the dogs that usually star in commercials or beauty contests… and that’s exactly what made her win. 🐶👑

The little dog was crowned the winner of “World’s Ugliest Dog”, a famous contest held in California that for almost 50 years has celebrated the unique and special appearance of pets that don’t fit traditional standards.

Alongside her owner, Shannon Nyman, Petunia took home the night’s grand prize and a check for 5 thousand dollars. But that wasn’t all: her story quickly went viral and ended up turning her into a full-fledged celebrity.

After winning the contest in Santa Rosa, California, the little dog even traveled to New York to appear on the well-known TODAY show. ❤️
