World's 'Ugliest Dog' Dies
Tuesday, November 22, 2005
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Sam, the dog whose ugliness earned him TV appearances, limousine rides and even a meeting with Donald Trump, has died.
The pooch with the hairless body, crooked teeth and sparse tuft of hair atop his knobby head died Friday, just short of his 15th birthday, said his owner, Susie Lockheed.
"I don't think there'll ever be another Sam," she said, adding wryly, "Some people would think that's a good thing."
Sam became an international celebrity after winning the ugliest animal contest at the 2003 Sonoma-Marin Fair -- a victory he twice repeated. The purebred Chinese crested hairless made appearances on TV in Japan, radio in New Zealand and in Britain's Daily Mirror tabloid, stayed in luxury hotels and met Trump on a talk show set.
Lockheed marketed his visage on T-shirts, a calendar and even a coffee "ugly mug."
At the time of his death, Sam was scheduled to be filmed for a Discovery Channel series on the world's ugliest species.
Lockheed said she was initially terrified of Sam when she agreed to take him in as a rescue six years ago on a 48-hour trial basis. Although she fell in love with him, his appearance repulsed her then-boyfriend and prompted the man to break up with her.
Later, however, Sam became a matchmaker by bringing together Lockheed and her current beau, who saw a picture of the two on an online dating site.
Lockheed said she had Sam euthanized after a veterinarian told her Sam's heart was failing.
She said she's felt a little lost ever since, and is sleeping with Sam's favorite toy -- a stuffed bear he picked up and carried home.
"I have snuggled Sam under my blankets on my bed for six years," said Lockheed, who has three other dogs named TatorTot, TinkerBell and PixieNoodle
okay, first of all, WHAT THE FUCK?!?!? lady, most people enter normal animals in fairs, like horses or pigs, or at the far end of the normal spectrum, sometimes miniature horses or those half horse/half zebra things. at least those are fun to look at. but you, susie lockheed, you had to go and find yourself the ugliest-ass dog you could find, and then pretend like it's something to be proud of. worse still is the fact that the judges supported your delusion three times, though in their defense, it looks like they had no choice but to vote your ugly dog as the ugliest thing ever since time began.
aly: i wish i was so ugly they would put me up in 5-star hotels and introduce me to donald trump.
what aly fails to see is that you must be the extreme of anything in order to be famous. usually being the most beautiful is the most beneficial, but as you can see here, being the most ugly works too. i can't believe this dog lived for 15 years. in books, movies, and even real life, ugly people are subject to mean or violent treatment. look at quasimodo or the phantom of the opera. this poor dog trumps them both, yet he has somehow been allowed to live. where are the neighborhood rock-throwing boys when you need them? and who bought her ugly dog merchandise? who thinks "hey, i need to pay $20 for a shirt that has a picture of a hideous dog on it; that'd be so COOL!"? it'd be cheaper and just as effective to wear roadkill on your head, you moron. or who wakes up in the morning and says, "ah what a beautiful day. i think i'll have a steaming latte in my ugly dog mug"? it's easy to wake up to a face full of ugly; all you have to do is go to a singles pub on a friday night. what gets me is that her ex-boyfriend broke up with her because of her hideous dog, but somehow she thinks it's a good idea to post a picture of her and her dog on a dating site. there are only two possible explanations for this: aly suggested that something like this is best presented at the beginning of the relationship, much like a single mom with kids at home. my only other guess is that she is also pretty hideous and she uses the dog so make her, by comparison, look good. at any rate, the plan worked and she is now dating some guy who for some reason didn't care that they were sharing their bed with the cryptkeeper. and now, boo-hoo, she feels "lost" without her ugly dog to sleep with at night. what is wrong with you??? if i had a dog that looked like a skeksy from the Dark Crystal i'd have had him euthanized as soon as i laid eyes on him. it's the sort of ugly that makes you want to stomp on it like a cockroach, but with someone else's shoe because you don't want that disgusting thing touching anything that is in any way attached to you.
all in all, this makes me hate SB more, because i have crazies like this living around me. it was bad enough she named her other dogs tatertot, tinkerbell and pixienoodle; it's obvious from her name-choices and the fact that she slept with this hideous creature and probably let it eat from her plate and lick her mouth that she's one of those eccentric old ladies with no kids. my conjecture is the dog picked death over having an ugly face and living with psycho-bitch and her stupid, also probably ugly dogs.
