Looks like that Rat Monkey from that zombie movie (forgot the name.)

You mean Braindead (or Dead Alive depending on the country). Awesome film, and yes, that dog does look like the rat monkey.

Not that unbelievable. Braindead is superbly directed, and there are some subtle references to Braindead in Lord of the Rings. Peter Jackson is a legend.

Tell me about that references. Please. Really, I mean it.

ps: God damn, is that dog ugly! I can't get over it. I wanted to go to sleep. Now I can't. I'd poo my pants if I would see that thing at night...

Elizabeth Moody (who played the mother in braindead) playing Lobelia Sackville-Baggins in Fellowship of the Ring, and playing in exactly the same kind of way as when she is a zombie in Braindead for one. There are a couple of others, but its late, im tired and can't remember them. When I remember I'll post.

Since I was the one who posted the ugly dog, I guess I should add to the cute dogs as well.

It's on the Associated Press, google news has dozens of free links to the same article with the same picture.

That really is the gnarliest dog EVER. Dear dog that thing's ugly. It looks like it's gone for a swim in a deep fryer or something.

Looking at the picture makes me very sad. It appears that the dog has a deformity and a disease of some type.

Looks like someone already did!





Here's Jake, our Silky Terrier. Here he is in his favorite place, a straw bag. He is 6 pounds of pure love. He and I just had broiled sirloin tips smothered in pepperjack cheese and green chiles for lunch. He loves it in his various bags - which are also used to carry him in wherever I go...love you, Jake!

I'll post one article about this dog.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- The owners of the other contestants in this year's World's Ugliest Dog Contest may have thought their pooches had a chance -- until they saw Sam.

The 14-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested recently won the Sonoma-Marin Fair contest for the third consecutive time, and it's no surprise.

The tiny dog has no hair, if you don't count the yellowish-white tuft erupting from his head. His wrinkled brown skin is covered with splotches, a line of warts marches down his snout, his blind eyes are an alien, milky white and a fleshy flap of skin hangs from his withered neck. And then there's the Austin Powers teeth that jut at odd angles from his mouth.

He's so ugly even the judges recoiled when he was placed on the judging table, said his proud owner, Susie Lockheed, of Santa Barbara.

"People are always horrified when I kiss him. He may turn into a prince yet. He's definitely a toad," she said. "I always thought he'd be great on greeting cards or on a commercial for Rogaine."

Sam, who's pushing 15, has something of a cult following after winning the contest -- and fans' hearts -- for three years running. Last year, huge crowds gathered around Sam and Lockheed at a local parade and Lockheed said she received letters and calls about her pup for weeks.

"So many people have told me they've got his picture on their refrigerator. He certainly has a little cult following," she said. "I did years of professional musical theater and never achieved the fame Sam has."

Sam will appear in this weekend's Fourth of July parade in Santa Barbara, but the recent events may be the cap on a long, ugly career. Lockheed says Sam's now suffering from congestive heart failure, lung and kidney problems and has definitely slowed down in his twilight years.

Still, he enjoys regular gourmet meals of sirloin steak, cheese balls, roasted chicken and flan (so he'll swallow his multiple pills). He also passes occasional weekends at the Gaviota ranch of Lockheed's boyfriend, where the World's Ugliest Dog rides in the back of an ATV with his few remaining hairs wafting in the wind.

No subscription needed here. The pic isn't as... er... special, though. Apparently his owner was diagnosed with cancer and she took him into radioactive isolation with her for a week. Obviously this doesn't explain everything, but maybe it explains a little?
