Princess Abby, accompanied by her owner Kathleen Francis, won the 2010 World’s Ugliest Dog Contest before a packed crowd at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma on Friday evening.
Helping her clinch the title was the pooch's hunched and peculiar walk due to her back legs being longer than her front.
Princess Abby also is missing an eye, and had an audience-pleasing ability to dance on her two hind feet for treats.
Francis said that Princess Abby was rescued off of Clearlake's streets five months ago, and was found malnourished and flea-infested. When Francis spotted her, she promptly adopted her.
“She’s my best friend,” said Francis, who recently fell on hard times and works at a local department store for minimum wage. “Abby’s done more for me that I’ve done for her.”
