The annual World’s Ugliest Dog, uh, pageant(?), has been the go-to place for all sorts of proud canine anti-aesthetics.
And this year’s competition was no different. From the throng of hopefuls emerged Gus, pictured above.

The two kids in the picture above may not look like newborns–I’d think they look at least six months old–but twins Sean William Maynard and Abigail Rose Maynard were brought into this world just this week in North Carolina, USA.
Sean weighs 10 pounds, 14 ounces while Abigail Rose tips the scales at 12 pounds, 3 […]
