  • civilizedevil, on 11/11/2008, -0/+34I just found out my dog has cancer. I heard the news literally right before I sat down just now. Apparently its on her spine and inoperable.
  • acmaurer, on 11/10/2008, -0/+31this is true... sam was impressively ugly
  • AlanFang, on 11/11/2008, -1/+32Actually hold your breath, it kind of stinks.
  • derekmas10, on 11/11/2008, -10/+41I came SO close to burying... because it seemed the right thing to do to a dead, ugly dog.
  • Anim8tor, on 11/10/2008, -3/+33These are some ugly, ugly dogs. Sam and Gus, both.
  • metapop, on 11/11/2008, -5/+34RIP you ugly SOB

  • suzannethetiger, on 11/11/2008, -0/+15I almost feel like they need to stop holding the Ugly Dog competition now that Sam is dead. No dog will beat Sam for 100+ years.
  • inactive, on 11/11/2008, -0/+15Why is everything and everyone dying of cancer?
  • legacy5k, on 11/11/2008, -0/+14Agreed, Sam looked like your worst nightmare.
  • bill80, on 11/10/2008, -3/+17I think all entrants in the World's Ugliest Dog contest should be checked for prior conditions so we don't have to keep going through this heartbreak.
  • paulmer2003, on 11/11/2008, -0/+13Poor thing. Apparently it's previous owners had beaten it and made it eat trash etc :(

  • guitarike, on 11/11/2008, -0/+7seriously? my neighbors dog is 10x uglier than that. Gus is cute, physical defects aside.
  • zip000, on 11/11/2008, -0/+7He was the winner for like 5 years in a row.

    I actually think that most of the Chinese cresteds are cute in an ugly way, but Sam was just horrifying; he's like a zombie dog or something.

    I think he actually died like 10 years ago, but they kept reentering his corpse in the contest.
  • inactive, on 11/11/2008, -3/+9yeah, he said saddest, l2r
  • juke1, on 11/11/2008, -0/+6Rest in Peace, Gus.
