Move over, glamour pups — Ugliest Dog Day is here, and it’s time to celebrate the wonderfully wonky, adorably asymmetrical, and fabulously funny-faced dogs who steal hearts not with their looks, but with their charm.
This unofficial but totally lovable holiday shines a spotlight on pups who might never grace the cover of a pet magazine, but who rock their snaggletooth, one eye, crooked tail, or scruffy patches with total confidence.
You know the type:
The dog who looks like he ran through a car wash backward.
The one with a face only a mother (or an entire internet audience) could love.
The kind of pup that turns heads — then turns those heads into mushy piles of love.
What Is Ugliest Dog Day All About?
Inspired by events like the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma, California, this day is about more than laughs — it’s about celebrating individuality, resilience, and inner beauty. Many of these so-called “ugly” dogs are rescues who’ve overcome neglect, injury, or tough beginnings. Their unique appearances often tell stories of survival and second chances.
So, today we say:
🎉 Here's to the underbites, the tongue-hangers, and the one-eared wonders!
🎉 Here's to the dogs who make us laugh, melt, and fall in love at first lopsided glance.
