A hairless British dog called Mugly has won the title of ugliest dog in the world, in a competition held in the United States.
Bald, apart from an eyebrow and some wayward white whiskers, the Chinese Crested pooch from Peterborough won $1,000 (£640) and a year's worth of dog biscuits.
The pointy nosed pooch was whisked away in a limousine with his owner Bev Nicholson, 49, for a VIP stay at the Sheraton in Petaluma, California, and a photo shoot.
"I couldn't speak when they announced Mugly's name," said Ms Nicholson. "I didn't know which way to look. I was shaking as much as the dog."
Dressed in a glittery blue top hat and a black velvet Union Jack coat, eight-year-old Mugly beat 28 other ugly dogs to scoop the prize.
Ms Nicholson told her local paper the Peterborough Telegraph that Mugly is beautiful on the inside.
