Last weekend the annual World's Ugliest Dog competition took place in California. Scamp The Tramp has been voted the ugliest dog in the world this year. Scamp The Tramp was rescued in 2014 by his mom, Yvonne Morones. This is a story about an online swipe right and love at first sight. Yvonne discovered Scamp on Pet Finder and immediately melted. He was in his last hour when she adopted him and saved his life.
“It was on the way home that I knew I had made the right choice. There we were, two strangers in a car on their way home for a fresh start. Bob Marley played "One Love" and I looked around and little Scamp bobbed his head. It was as if he knew he had found his forever home.” said Yvonne.
Scamp and Yvonne are flown to New York for a live performance on NBC's Today Show today. Her prize included a very large trophy, $1500, and a donated prize match that will be split between several charities.
Wild Thang
Scamp entered the competition with 18 other dogs, most of which were also adopted and/or rescued. The 2nd place winner is Wild Thang, owned by Ann Lewis and 3rd place Tostito, owned by Molly Horgan, who also won the Spirit Award. This year's People's Choice Award went to Meatloaf, owned by Denae Pruner.
