A 6-year-old pug was honored with the title of the World's Ugliest Dog at an annual contest in California.

Jinny Lu, who came in second last year, was dubbed the winner of the 2026 World's Ugliest Dog Contest at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa.

The annual event, which aims to celebrate the unique beauty of dogs and promote adoption, marked its 50th anniversary this year.

Jinny Lu was rescued from the dog meat trade in South Korea and brought to the United States for adoption by a pair of California rescue groups.

Jinny Lu, along with her owner Michelle Grady, went home with a trophy and a first-place prize of $5,000. MUG Root Beer, a contest sponsor, will make limited-edition soda cans with Jinny Lu's face gracing the cover, as well.

This year's runner-up -- Pinky, an albino Chihuahua and Pomeranian mix -- went home with a $3,000 prize, while the third-place finisher -- Otto, a Chihuahua mix -- received a $2,000 prize.

Seems kinda fricked up that a dog with a legit disability (the one in the pic with the mangled nose) would be considered for ugliest dog. Seems like that's something that should be earned based on natural looks and not deformities, IMO.

That’s not an ugly dog, but certainly wins first prize for longest tongue contest.

That's what all pugs look like. It's an inhumane breed.
