Victoria Wins "Ugliest Dog" Title for Third Year in Row. Victoria, the poster child for hadicapped dogs, won the "Ugliest Dog" title at Del Mar on March 9th. This is the third year in a row that she has become reigning queen. She placed second in 2006 at the "World's Ugliest Dog Contest and can be seen on Animal Planet's segment "World's Ugliest Dog". Little Victoria is a 6 year old an Italian Greyhound. She was projected to live for only 2 months, but beat the odds. She is hydrocephalus (water on the brain), blind in one eye, has a deformed jaw with proturding teeth, had a torturously bent tail that was amputated, and had a broken leg. Victoria is very intelligent, nocturnal, eats from 12 to 5 am, and is Bruna Palmatier's sweet little Angel. |
