  World's Ugliest Dog  - Princess Abby sets world record      
  PETALUMA, Calif., USA -- "Princess Abby," a 4-year-old Chihuahua mix rescued by her owner (Kathleen Francis of Clearlake, Calif.) from almost certain death, won the title of the World's Ugliest Dog at the 22nd annual event at the Marin-Sonoma County Fair.

   “She was going to be put to sleep because she had so many physical problems,” Francis said. “I got her just in time.”

   “She’s my best friend. Abby’s done more for me that I’ve done for her,” said Francis who recently fell on hard times and works at a local department store for minimum wage.

   Princess Abby, (Abigail) Francis, a dog with a gray, brown and black coat, the World's Ugliest Dog, received $1,000 in cash and a modeling contract with House of Dog in Los Angeles.

   The four-year-old dog beat a rough-looking slate of candidates for the prize, including Pabst, the teeth-bearing boxer mix who won last year.

    The judges were celebrity vet Karen "Doc" Halligan, Vertical Horizon lead singer Matt Scannell, "That 70's Show" actress Christina Moore and Sonoma-Marin fair board member Brian Sobel.

   Celebrity vet Karen "Doc" Halligan, one of the contest's three judges, says the dog's oddly curved back and legs and closed up left eye may be due to being inbred.

    The Sonoma-Marin Fair has been conducting this contest for 22 years and in the last four years has received international attention for it.

    The contest sponsor was House Of Dog who provided the winner with another check for $1,000 and a year round modeling contract. Karen “Doc” Halligan provided vet checks for all of the contestants before the event.
