VIDEO: World's ugliest dog crowned!

Competitions for the cutest or cleverest pets are not uncommon, but the title two-year-old Peanut walked away with in California this week was not very glamorous. Peanut was crowned 'The World's Ugliest Dog.'

Peanut, thought to be a Chihuahua-shih-tzu mix, took the top prize at the annual gathering of the most cosmetically challenged pets in the world.

As much as Peanut sports rough and wiry hair, almost terrifying eyes and hideous teeth, judges agreed she also had a fantastic personality.

Judges scored the dogs in a number of categories, including personality and natural ugliness!

According to Peanut's owner, Holly Chandler from North Carolina, Peanut was badly burned as a puppy.

Holly used her pet to raise awareness about animal abuse.

She planned to use the $1,500 prize to pay for other animals' veterinary bills.

Do you have a weird looking pet with an incredible personality? We'd love to see them.
