A British dog named Mugly has taken the title of the World’s Ugliest Dog at the annual contest, which was held in Northern California on Friday. Mugly is an 8-year-old Chinese crested with several ugly features, including a crooked nose, white whiskers and large, beady eyes, which helped it win the award, notes The Associated Press. The dog beat out 28 others from all around the world for the prize, which includes $1,000 and a year’s supply of dog treats. It will also get to do a photo shoot and a VIP stay at the local Sheraton hotel. “I couldn't speak when they announced Mugly's name,” said Bev Nicholson, the dog's owner, after Mugly was crowned the winner. “I didn't know which way to look. I was shaking as much as the dog.” Nicholson added that Mugly was previously named Britain’s ugliest dog in 2005. In case you get worried that Mugly might feel insulted by the award, host and pet psychic Sonya Fitzpatrick told Mercury News that Mugly and the others have no objection to being called “ugly.” They just love the attention they get. Mugly and the others were judged on their natural ugliness and then competed against past winners, who are known as the “Ring of Champions.” Judges and the audience picked the eventual winner. The competition took place at the Marin-Sonoma Fairgrounds in Petaluma, just north of San Francisco. Chinese crested appear to be favorites to win every year. Yoda, a Chinese crested and Chihuahua mix, won last year. Mugly will go on to make appearances on talk shows and local UK events. (Agencies) |
周五在北加州舉行的世界最丑狗年度大賽上，一只名為馬格利的英國(guó)小狗奪得“世界最丑狗”稱號(hào)。 據(jù)美聯(lián)社報(bào)道，馬格利是一只八歲大的中國(guó)冠毛犬，它的鼻子歪歪扭扭，長(zhǎng)著白胡須和大大的暴突眼，這些難看的面部特征幫助它一舉奪魁。這只狗打敗了來(lái)自世界各地的其他28只狗，贏得了1000美元的獎(jiǎng)金和一年的狗小食。它還能拍一組寫真，并能在當(dāng)?shù)氐南瞾?lái)登酒店貴賓房住上一晚。 這只狗的主人貝夫?尼克爾森在馬格利奪冠后說(shuō)：“當(dāng)他們宣布馬格利獲勝時(shí)，我激動(dòng)得說(shuō)不出話來(lái)。我不知道眼睛應(yīng)該看哪里。我和我的狗一樣興奮得渾身發(fā)抖?！蹦峥藸柹€說(shuō)，馬格利在2005年曾被評(píng)為英國(guó)最丑狗。 你不用擔(dān)心馬格利會(huì)因?yàn)楂@得這種獎(jiǎng)而感到屈辱，大賽主持人、寵物溝通師松尼亞?菲茨帕翠克告訴《水星報(bào)》說(shuō)，馬格利和其他參賽狗對(duì)于被稱作“丑八怪”并無(wú)反對(duì)意見(jiàn)。它們就是喜歡被關(guān)注的感覺(jué)。 馬格利和其他參賽狗與號(hào)稱“冠軍之環(huán)”的往屆獲勝者相比拼，評(píng)比的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是，它們得是天生就丑。評(píng)委和觀眾選出最后的獲勝者。 這場(chǎng)比賽在帕塔魯馬的馬林-索諾馬展覽會(huì)場(chǎng)上舉行，帕塔魯馬位于舊金山北部。 中國(guó)冠毛犬似乎是每年的常勝將軍。去年，一只名為“尤達(dá)”的中國(guó)冠毛犬和吉娃娃的混血狗摘得冠軍。 接下來(lái)，馬格利還會(huì)在脫口秀和當(dāng)?shù)氐挠?guó)活動(dòng)上露面。 相關(guān)閱讀 拉布拉多犬連續(xù)第19年當(dāng)選美國(guó)最受歡迎犬種 （中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津 陳丹妮 編輯：Julie） |
