The World’s Ugliest Dog Contest on June 23, 2017 at Sonoma Marin Fair is often misunderstood, just like the kind, loving pets who vie for top prize. The contest brings awareness about adoptable canines by patting owners on the back for their efforts to champion ways “ugly” dogs have enhanced human lives.
