The world’s ugliest dog - in memoriam
“The Ambassador Extraordinaire of ugly dogs everywhere”
SAM is the three times, undefeated champion of the “World’s Ugliest Dog” contest (2003, 2004, 2005), well, who could defeat him? Most unfortunately he was put down due to heart complications as he was close to reach ultimate fame along with 15 years of age.

“I’ve got a little itch there”
Susie Lockheed took him in as a rescue dog in 1999 and made an internet star out of him, followed by some screen appearances.

“Feed me a cookie and I’ll give you a kiss”
He is so special, he sports his own page on wikipedia although one would prefer it a little more elaborated.

“Is my lower lip a little crooked?”
Sam was a purebred Chinese Crested Hairless although if one performs a little bit of research on this particular breed he won’t find many dogs resembling this nature’s oddity.

“All this attention got me tired”
The voting for the 2008 World’s Ugliest Dog Contest has already started and it looks quite exciting, so take some time to browse around, maybe you need to adopt a puppy soon.

“I hope they’re removing the red-eye effect, I hate looking bad in pictures”
And just to make sure I’m going to hell, after picking on physical faults of God’s creatures before, I’ve decided to include this link of the World’s Unofficial Ugliest Human Being, just for, erm, comparison purposes.

@Army: Okay, if you die, then I’m seriously going to hell, what I did so far was bad enough so please, stay alive.

The article says something about this breed not being so bad and that Sam was an odd case, not true, most ugliest dog competitions are won by Chinese or Japanese cresteds (with a few exceptions). Not all cresteds are bad, and I think Sam was cute in his own way.

Well, I was the owner of SAM, World’s Ugliest Dog, and although he loved me very much, it was sometimes hard for others to get around him. He certainly had his moments! He gave us a lot of pleasure, though. From trips to New York (from Santa Barbara) to limos to Hollywood, for three years during his reign, it was exciting. I treated him as well as any animal (or human!) is treated. He ate specially prepared food and got the best medical care. I do miss my SAM! My husband and I have opened SAM’s Doggie Dude Ranch in SAM’s honor. It is a cage-free boarding facility on a large ranch where, if the owners approve, the dogs go out on long runs with me leading the way (well, I’m in a Polaris Ranger). If SAM were alive, he’d be riding with me! Over 160,000,000 hits on his website, SamUgliestDog.com

@Susie : Thank you for stopping by Susie, it’s probably hard to lose a dog and I’m sure everyone feels the same (our dog just turned 7 today). I just want you to know that I did not intend to make any kind of mockery out of Sam and I’m sure he was a beautiful dog in his own way, like all of them are.

Are you kidding! I am not upset at all. SAM LOVED the lemelight and was such a GREAT comedian. During interviews he ALWAYS growled with perfect toming. His best clip ever is from Carson Daly. I need to get that up on YouTube. It is TRULY hilarious as Varson is afraid of most dogs…
Thanks for keeping our Beloved SAMMIE’s memory alive.
Susie, owner of SAM
PS He graces the cover of the new “Ripley’s Beleve It Or Not”! (English publication)

Susie,
As a very loyal pet owner i feel for your loss, but envy the times you describe with your pooch, as odd as he may have looked he was your baby no doubt. Your bond must have been so strong. The little guy musta just loved waking up to his family
Congrats on the Ripley’s cover

For all you people who had nasty remarks, you should maybe take a good look at yourselves in the mirror. I would bet that little guy had more love in his little paw than any of you have in your whole miserable bodies. Also, what is dis talk you talk? Learn english why don’t you.
June 30th, 2008 at 5:08 am
wtf, there shouldnt even be contests like this, people who do this are fucking sick in the head , besides those dogs are shaved too, who the fuck would breed to dogs that arent good together then shave them, honestly people who do that are a bunch of fucking sick fucked up pyscho paths.
June 30th, 2008 at 7:21 am
OMG I’m disturbed from looking at that awful thing. I may have crapped my pants from fear. Holy lord, that was gross. His teeth were all creepy and his skin lookes like old homeless mans after 10 years on the street…. pewk.
July 2nd, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Hey there Susie:
Sorry to hear about Sam. I have him on my computer and also have him as my picture on Pokerstars when I play. It is also great to hear about your Ranch you have.

Ok who in the world would want a dog that ugly even if it gets the title the worlds ugliest dog!
September 28th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Poor cute little guy, as a friend of mine says “we are what we are”
no matter the colour or breed. love them, love everyone…… but I don’t think I would vote to intentionally breed these little dogs. it’s not fair to them.
November 15th, 2008 at 8:40 am

March 29th, 2009 at 7:08 am
Hi all:
I’m Susie’s sister and I knew Sammy very well. He was a rescue dog who came into Susie’s life when he was around 9 or 10 and he was one very grumpy little guy when Susie adopted him, but he really opened up, with the trust and love he received. And yes, he really looked just like the photos! What a mug! He adored Susie and he was always with her, and she took wonderful care of him, many car rides and romps in her garden yard. Susie has a couple of other little dogs, too, so Sammy had his pooch companions as well and was never alone. He had a remarkable life, and it is true that he was a natural comedian with great timing for his ‘growls’. If you knew Sammy he wasn’t scary at all, just feisty and really aware of his unusual looks. He’s in doggie Heaven now but he sure has left an amazing legacy for all of us.
