The Day The Ugliness Died

Let us all take a moment of silence and remember someone who was taken from us much, much too soon. I'm sure by now you've all heard the tragic news that the "World's Ugliest Dog" has passed away. His life was filled with accolades, and he was a prominent figure on the talk show circuit appearing in Japan, and even once beside Donald Trump...I'm not sure how people were able to tell them apart.


While I have no idea what will be said about "Sam" at his burial, I can only guess it will go something like this comment from the Associated Press:

His wrinkled brown skin is covered with splotches, a line of warts marches down his snout, his blind eyes are an alien, milky white, and a fleshy flap of skin hangs from his withered neck. And then there are the Austin Powers teeth that jut at odd angles. He's so ugly that even the judges recoiled when he was placed on the judging table . . .

But sadly, after 14 years of sheer hideousness, he has gone to a better place, where no one is ugly or beautiful...except maybe that thing
