Held at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, The World's Ugliest Dog Contest was founded with the aim of promoting rescue dogs and raising awareness of animal welfare. Never before has a contestant from outside America been brave enough to enter the competition, until now. In 2012, Mugly, Britain’s Ugliest Dog, crossed the Atlantic with the weight of a nation on his furless shoulders. Mutt Ugly follows Mugly’s progress, from his preparations in the UK, his first flight and his arrival in the USA, through to his interaction with fellow contestants, his exploits at the contest itself, and the media storm that follow him and his owner, Bev.
