Yoda, a 14-year old female dog of mixed breed (chihuahua and Chinese crested dog) has won the World's Ugliest Dog competition, held in Northern California. Abandoned behind an apartment building, the current owner, Terry Schumacher, first mistook Yoda for a rat. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was a dog in need of help.



As winner, Yoda received a trophy and $1000 prize money.

Congratz, Yoda!
