Now the winner of the 2022 World’s Ugliest Dog contest has turned into a celebrity with his own Instagram account, trips to live morning TV shows and appearances in dozens of interviews with publications around the world.If it weren’t for her niece who on a lark encouraged her to submit Mr. Happy Face’s entry for the World’s Ugliest Dog contest, Benally probably never would have heard of the nearly 50-year-old competition celebrating the “imperfections that make all dogs unique.
Her original plan was to leave the Yavapai Humane Society shelter in Prescott, Ariz., with a big protective dog, she said, but the animal she wanted had been adopted minutes before she arrived. So Benally asked the no-kill shelter to show her some dogs who were less likely to be adopted.Mr. Happy face, who has some deformities and tumors, hobbled his way to Benally and looked her in the eyes flashing, asking for a second chance.And that’s all it took.
Since Mr. Happy Face won the contest, fans have contacted Benally to say his story inspired them to adopt the underdog, that friend who needs more care than others, senior pets who might not get immediate attention from pet adopters. The contest, held annually as part of the Sonoma-Marin Fair, isn’t intended to make fun of “ugly” dogs, according to its website. Its organizers hope to teach that all animals can be loved, no matter how they look. Many of the contestants have been rescued from shelters and puppy mills. Last year’s second place winner, Wild Thang, is a distemper survivor with no teeth. Monkey, a 12-year-old Blue Factor Brussels Griffon, took home last year’s third place.
