Congratulations to Scamp! The mutt from California is the winner of this year’s World’s Ugliest Dog Contest. He beat out 18 other wacky-looking hounds. The goal of the contest is to encourage people to adopt dogs from shelters like the one Scamp used to live in. This pooch has come a long way. He now works in schools as a therapy dog.
