PETALUMA, Calif. — He may not be a beauty, but he's still top dog.
Scamp the Tramp took top honors at the 31st annual World's Ugliest Dog contest, held in California on Friday. The annual competition is part of the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma.
Most of the dogs were abandoned or rescued from kill shelters. The goal is to bring attention to the needs of rescued dogs.
