2007 Most Ugly Dog Elwood

Elwood is not the most handsome 2-year-old Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix canine. As a matter of fact, his owner, Karen Quigley, teases by calling him "Yoda" or even "ET" on occasion. Quigley is said to have rescued Elwood when he was still a puppy, "The breeder was going to euthanize him because she thought he was too ugly to sell," she explains in a brief interview. Elwood has to travel from New Jersey to California to claim his much-deserved title of the 2007 World's Ugliest Dog.
