Jinny Lu, a six-year-old pug, was crowned the winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest 2026 on Friday night at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, California. After finishing as a runner-up last year, this marked her fourth participation in the event, which celebrated its 50th anniversary. The contest aims to promote pet adoption and celebrate the uniqueness of dogs rather than simply finding the ugliest one. Jinny Lu and her owner, Michelle Grady, received a trophy and a $5,000 prize. Jinny Lu's story began in South Korea, where she was rescued from the dog meat trade and now serves as an ambassador for rescued dogs.
