He sort of reminds me of a former employer...
The Associated Press described Sam thusly:
The tiny dog has no hair, if you don't count the yellowish-white tuft erupting from his head. His wrinkled brown skin is covered with splotches, a line of warts marches down his snout, his blind eyes are an alien, milky white, and a fleshy flap of skin hangs from his withered neck. And then there are the Austin Powers teeth that jut at odd angles.
He's so ugly that even the judges recoiled when he was placed on the judging table . . .
[LMFAO...that poor thing]
Unfortunately, Sam is suffering from a number of age-related ailments (congestive heart failure, lung and kidney problems) and will probably make no more public appearances, so he may have to cede his "World's Ugliest Dog" crown in next year's competition.
Reminds me of a time when I was visiting a bandmates house when his mother-in-law came over with a simularly ugly dog.
The poor thing was blind so she was constantly biting the m-i-l, mistaking her for a foe until she could smell food. I didn't know this thing was blind and deaf so, I asked what was the matter with her because the dog would just stand in the middle of the floor growling and periodically snapping at the air. The mother-in-law snaps at me saying 'Well, if you were as old and sick as Susan [yeah, an ugly, decrepit dog named Susan...] you wouldn't do much better!'
I was hoping someone would have the mercy to beat me to death with a stick if I got that decrepit! Of course I didn't say that to the mother-in-law...I went to go look for a stick...
gespro...of the 'I know I'm a sick puppy' class
