A nine-year-old English bulldog has been named the winner of the 2018 World’s Ugliest Dog contest in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Zsa Zsa won the title at the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds in Petaluma.
The dog’s owner, Megan Brainard of Anoka, Minnesota, will receive $1,500 (around £1,130) for Zsa Zsa’s win.
Dogs in the annual competition flaunt their imperfections – some have hairless bodies, others have lolling tongues.
The dogs and their handlers walk down a red carpet and are evaluated by a panel of judges.
The competition included a blackhead-covered Chinese crested-dachshund mutt, a bulldog mix with excess wrinkly skin and a Pekingese named Wild Thang.
Last year’s winner was a 125-pound gentle giant named Martha – a Neopolitan Mastiff with gas and a droopy face.
