FOXNEWS ^ | June 27, 2015 | Foxnews and AP

Quasi Modo, a 10-year-old mutt whose spinal birth defects left him with a hunchback, is the winner of this year’s World’s Ugliest Dog Contest Friday night.

The pit bull-Dutch shepherd mix and his owner took the $1,500 prize, besting 25 other dogs competing in the contest that applauds imperfection, organizers said.

Before becoming a champion, Quasi Modo was abandoned at an animal shelter before being adopted by a veterinarian in Loxahatchee, Florida, according to the dog’s biography posted on the contest’s website.

There is at least one other dog with this deformity, and by all accounts she is a sweetie.

Congratulations to Quasi, I am tired of the Chinese Crested taking the top prize every year.

I do not think this dog is ugly. Especially compared to the dogs who have won in previous years.

She’s kinda cute in a way.

Nice to see they finally have something other than a Chinese Crested..in fact I think the same one kept winning. Makes it a bit boring.

I'm with youse guys....the contest was getting tiresome and predictable. And, in my opinion, the Chinese Crested dog being picked again this time would have spelled doom for the contest.

The judges, show producers and sponsors know this, too. Let's face it, the Chinese Crested is the world's ugliest breed and would win top spot forever and a day unless some change in selection processes was made.

So the show's brass realized it had to dip into the deformity pool, or some other source of differentiality, for a champion this year, or the contest would quickly collapse for lack of any variety, competition and, of course, for the surprise/suspense factor always necessary in contest "show biz".

He’s not ugly. He just looks like he ran into a wall.

Chinese Cresteds are ugly, sure, but that is how they are supposed to look. I really like this years winner, I like his life story too.
