The world’s ugliest dog competition is set for the 21st of June.
The annual event is held every year in Petaluma, California.
The aim of the competition is to get each dog a home. The competition serves to remind people that just because these dogs may have faces only a puppy mum could love, that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a forever home.
