The [World’s Ugliest Dog](http://news.nationalpost.com/2010/06/03/worlds-ugliest-dog-dead-at-17/) has died. Miss Ellie, a Chinese Crested Hairless was 17. Boy, that was an ugly puppy, but she did look like a happy dog. ---

Wasn’t the _last_ World’s Ugliest Dog _also_ a Chinese Crested? ---

> [@a35362](#): > > Wasn’t the _last_ World’s Ugliest Dog _also_ a Chinese Crested? Yes, but that thing had cataracts and skin cancer and was much more “horrifically ugly” than Miss Ellie. Miss Ellie was more “goofy ugly” because her tongue was _always_ out. She was the kind of ugly that made you laugh.

I’m not sure she was really ugly. She was goofy looking that is for certain but she had a certain sweetness that made her look less ugly. I must admit that I have dated women who shared certain characteristics with Miss Ellie. ---

Miss Ellie was a cutie. [Sam (pictured here next to Zuul)](http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/26471) is still the champ, in my book. ---
