Meet the ‘World’s Ugliest Dog’ for 2022

A dog named Mr. Happy Face is the new “world’s ugliest dog.”

The dog won the not-so-serious competition at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, CA, HuffPost reports.

Mr. Happy Face was adopted in August at age 17 by Janeda Banelly in Arizona.

In a contest bio, Banelly explained that the dog “needed a second chance and deserved to be loved.” When she first met him, he was “the happiest creature that I had ever met.”

Banelly added: “I believe that this humble soul is … an example, in subtle ways, to help humans realize that even old dogs need love and a family too.”
