'Ugliest' Dog Is a Thing of Beauty to His Owner |
|
Some people won't even touch Susie Lockheed's pooch, a champion of hideousness. But she's dedicated to him despite the world's opinion. Some may call it a tale of beauty and the beast. But Sam, a 14-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested, and a three-time champ in the World's Ugliest Dog Contest, is the dog of Susie Lockheed's dreams.
Lockheed, 53, enjoys massaging Sam's fleshy, thin, potato-chip ears and running her fingers through the small patches of white hair on his head. She likes kissing Sam's hairless frame, littered with blackheads, brown warts and moles. Even his hindquarters have a large hernia lump.
Then there's his right eye, left a reddish-purple from cataracts, which stands out from the other, which is a milky white.
More...:scared: EW!!! :scared:

29. He's ugly but I still love him |
|
If he were my dog I'd love him just as much as she does. My dogs make me happy. Three of the five are mixed breeds, nothing special, and they all are pains in the ass. But I love them all and wouldn't trade them for anything.

I had a dog.. I think he mostly resembled a Catahoula hound.... that developed a serious skin problem at about age 8, we did EVERYTHING baths, made homemade food.... he had as much hair as this dog.. looked very similar. This poor puppy also has messy teeth, warts and milky eyes.... Tiger never had that. But he had always been the gentlest, most wonderful dog.
Even though it has been 16 years since he died, I miss him terribly. Best dog to have when growing up.
I am sure Sam was just like Tiger and has endured a lot of pain, but continues to give his owner the most love possible. :cry:

could you imagine waking up in the middle of the night and have that dog staring at you or something. He looks like something out of a scary movie.

God and I love this one. He's been in the news a lot and he reminds me of a dog I once had, sickly but as golden as it gets. Bless his little butt.

26. except to intentionally breed animals with health problems & deformities |
|
for fun and profit... that's not an act of God, that's an act of man (or woman as the case may be).

31. I don't think Chinese Crested are particularly prone to health problems |
|
I could be wrong, but AFAIK, they're about as healthy as any other small dog. Any dog that gets to be 15 years old is going to have health problems.

these dogs have such delicate skin that they can get all kinds of conditions. Sunscreen helps.
