Petaluma, CA – Wild Thang, an 8-year-old Pekingese, won the 2024 World’s Ugliest Dog contest in Petaluma, California, on June 21. This victory came after competing in the contest four times previously, placing second three times.
Wild Thang, originally from Los Angeles and now retired in North Bend, Oregon, contracted distemper as a puppy, which left him with permanent dental issues and a constant paddling motion in his right front leg. Despite these challenges, Wild Thang is described as a healthy and happy dog. His owner, Ann Lewis, received a $5,000 prize for their win.
