Scooter, a 7-year-old hairless Chinese Crested pup, was crowned as the winner of the “World’s Ugliest Dog” competition for 2023.
On June 23, NBC’s Gadi Schwartz served as a judge at the 2023 World’s Ugliest Dog contest in Petaluma, California. He helped crown a Scooter, a 7-year-old hairless Chinese Crested pup, the winner.
Adopted by Linda Celeste Elmquist, Scooter has quite the story. Scooter was born with deformed back legs. His joints and legs are backwards. When he was born, a breeder turned him into animal control in Tucson for euthanasia. He was fortunately saved by the Saving Animals From Euthanasia rescue group, of which Elmquist is a member.
A man in the group first adopted Scooter and kept him for about seven years. During that time Elmquist had checked on Scooter and taken him to medical appointments. After the man was unable to continue caring for Scooter, Elmquist adopted him and has had him for seven months.Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters.
Scooter has walked on his front legs since he was a pup and as he gets older he tires easily, according to his owner. To rest, he sits on his back legs like a tripod. Because his feet are backwards, when he goes to the bathroom it lands on his feet — but Scooter just flings it up in the air.Scooter, a Chinese Crested, owned by Linda Elmquist is awarded first place, on stage during the annual World's Ugliest Dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California, on June 23, 2023.
However, Scooter was evaluated by a physical therapist to get a cart. And while it took some time for him to adjust to it, he now moves faster and can do things he could never do like sniff his surroundings.
