All dog lovers assemble because it's Ugliest Dog Day! Did you know the concept of "ugly" in dogs is entirely human-made?
Today, let's celebrate what makes our pups special on Ugliest Dog Day!
It is celebrated on June 20 every year so get ready for some serious cuteness overload (with maybe a side of funny faces).
Who Actually Started Ugliest Dog Day and Why
Did you know that there's an annual ugly dog contest held in Petaluma, California every year? It has been there since the 1970s!
Initially, there was a pet parade held in the city. Then started the Ugliest Dog contest which became really popular in the crowd. In fact, it was so popular that it became part of the Sonoma-Marin Fair. It was actually trademarked as 'World's Ugliest Dog®' in 2009.
