On Saturday, the little canine won first place in the annual “World’s Ugliest Dog” competition, a tongue-in-cheek pageant held at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. The event returned this year after being canceled twice in a row due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Mr. Happy Face looks toward the camera before the start of the World's Ugliest Dog Competition in Petaluma, California, on June 24.JOSH EDELSON via Getty ImagesAdvertisement Despite the shelter’s warnings, Banelly knew pretty quickly that this was the dog for her.“When I first met him, he was the happiest creature that I had ever met. He hobbled up to me and chose me,” she said. “I vowed that day, he would be so loved that he would never remember how awful his previous life had been.”Mr. Happy Face, whose contest bio does not specify his breed, wasn’t expected to live long after his adoption. Regarding his longevity thus far, Banelly chalks it up in part to the “love” and “kindness” he’s received.His hobbies, she says, include “being fearlessly adorable,” invoking his “elder privilege” over other pets in the household and “eating stinky things.”This year’s first runner-up was a puppy mill survivor named Wild Thang.Maybe next year, Wild Thang.Josh Edelson via Getty ImagesRelated...This Year's 'World's Ugliest Dog' Is Unconventionally AdorableMeet The 'World's Ugliest Dog'Scamp The Tramp Wins World's Ugliest Dog Contest
