With lolling tongues, threadbare coats and crooked noses aplenty, the World's Ugliest Dog competition was always going to be a warts-and-all affair. But then things got even uglier.
After weeks of online polling, the championship was hit by a vote-tampering scandal that left its zealous fans in an uproar.
The trouble began when tens of thousands of votes cast over the internet for Victoria, a half-blind greyhound with "a face and body only a mother could love", vanished overnight from the competition's website.
Two days later, the same thing happened to Pee Wee Martini, a Chinese crested mix whose drunken features and Mohawk hairdo had singled him out as one of the front-runners.
When officials logged on the following week to find the vote tallies for two more canin
e misfits, Munchkin and Rascal, had also been turned back to zero by computer hackers, they were forced to scrap the results and declare a new election.
"The top four leaders were each missing around 35,000 votes," Vicki DeArmon, the California-based event organiser said yesterday. "Clearly, there was something very suspicious going on.
"We were getting angry e-mails from owners and fans demanding to know what had happened. People were quite steamed up. There was a lot of finger-pointing - and paw-pointing."
The online theft temporarily propelled Lucille Bald, a rat-like contestant with one jutting tooth, an unruly mane and an Elvis-style quiff, into the lead.
