A three-legged, one-eyed, cancer-afflicted dog

    Gus has three legs, one eye and no hair, except for a white tuft on the top of his head. But he's top dog.

    The pedigree Chinese crested won the World's Ugliest Dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Northern California.

    His owner, Jeanenne Teed, brought Gus all the way from Florida, to compete for the dubious distinction

    After the excitement of the moment, Teed characterised her dog's reaction: "Well, I think right now he's ready for a nap."

    The Chinese crested breed is a popular choice in this annual contest. Last year's champ, Elwood, was a Chinese crested and Chihuahua mix.

    Gus's owner won $500 and will be flown to New York to appear on "CBS This Morning." The event will be aired on the Animal Planet network in October.

    Did Gus just blinked on that woman? :D

    I think that this dog rocks and should be treated fairly.

    That's so bad. Hope the dog gets treated soon. A dog could be your best friend at times. Best pet in the world.

    What do you do with a three-legged, one-eyed, cancer afflicted dog?
    Take it for the same circular walk each day and hope it doesn't bump into anything?
