Meet Sam (The Dog, NOT My Sister)

Although I've never actually met Sam, I can't help but love the little guy. I mean, just look at...I mean...he's just...
Words fail me. And that's a rare thing.
Sam is the winner, for the third year in a row, of the World's Ugliest Dog Contest. The contest is held in beautiful Santa Barbara, California every July. Sam's owner says this is Sam's last year of competition, certainly good news for all his canine competitors. I mean, when the judges recoil at the sight of a blind, milky-eyed, Austin-Powers toothy, wart-faced pooch with a tuft of hair that can only be described as a plug gone horribly wrong, it's time to take your chew-bone and go home.
I say kudos to Sam. I adore him. He's so ugly he's cute.
