The 2016 winner of the World's Ugliest Dog competition is as cute as she is terrifying
The judges have spoken: Sweepee Rambo, a Chinese crested chihuahua, is the world's ugliest dog.
In this case, that's a compliment.
The hairless pooch took home the top prize at the 2016 World's Ugliest Dog Competition, held on Saturday in Petaluma, California.

In her competition bio, Sweepee's owner, Jason Wurtz, writes that she's accompanied him to work each morning for the last 15 years. She placed second in last year's competition.
Seventeen dogs came to Petaluma to try their paws at the top spot. Though the Chinese crested reigned supreme, the competition also featured a few other breeds, including a Chinese pug and a miniature wire-haired dachshund. The California town has hosted the event for more than 50 years.
This year's second and third place prizes went to Josie, a Chinese crested mix, and Rue, a Chinese crested, respectively.
Of course, every pup is a winner at the World's Ugliest Dog competition.
