A 2-year old Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix named Elmwood was crowned the World’s Ugliest Dog this past Friday. Elmwood’s owner Karen Quigley said, “she rescued Elwood two years ago. ‘The breeder was going to euthanize him because she thought he was too ugly to sell.’” And by ugly, she means ridiculously attractive.

Just in case you missed this the last time around, this is 100% magic:

In other news, Jane Balogh registered her Australian shepherd-terrier mix to vote as a form of protest. “The second time Duncan M. MacDonald sent in an absentee ballot, an election worker in Federal Way called to ask about the paw print on the envelope. But it took three ballots before the prosecutor contacted the voting dog’s owner.” There’s no mention of his party affiliation. I suppose he’s either a Whig or a Tory.

I’ll drink to that:
