Gassy Neapolitan Mastiff crowned 2017 winner of World's Ugliest Dog Contest

Martha, a 125-pound Neapolitan Mastiff who was so disinterested in Friday's World's Ugliest Dog Contest that she plopped down on the ground in front of judges, was crowned the 2017 winner.
The three-year-old hound beat out 13 other canines for the title, including a bald Chinese Crested pooch and a mixed breed named Icky.
While the dogs entered into the annual contest, held at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in California, may not be the most visually appealing creatures, their quirky looks, off-beat personalities and unusual attributes are viewed as prized possessions during the contest.

According to NBC Bay Area, Martha was a crowd favorite from the moment she walked out — or plopped down — on stage. Instead of flaunting her long, droopy face for the judges like other dogs did, Martha fell over on her side deciding to take a quick break from the day's activities. She's also said to have suffered from a gas, something apparently no one seemed to mind.
By the end of the day, Martha not only had a few fans but won $1,500 and a trophy. She and her owner, Shirley Zindler, will also travel to New York for media appearances.

The World’s Ugliest Dog Contest is held every year.

Zindler rescued Martha from the Dogwood Animal Rescue Project in Sonama County, CBS reports. The pup was nearly blind from neglect by the time Zindler swept in and saved her.
Coming in second place at the contest was a 16-year-old Brussels Griffon-pug mixed named Moe, who lost his sight and hearing. In third place was a 14-year-old Chinese Crested-Harke mix named Chase.

Compassion

"And if we dare to look into those eyes, then we shall feel their suffering in our hearts.

More and more people have seen that appeal and felt it in their hearts.

All around the world there is an awakening of understanding and compassion, and understanding that reaches out to help the suffering animals in their vanishing homelands.

That embraces hungry, sick, and desperate human beings, people who are starving while the fortunate among us have so much more than we need.

And if, one by one, we help them, the hurting animals, the desperate humans, then together we shall alleviate so much of the hunger, fear, and pain in the world.

Together we can bring change to the world, gradually replacing fear and hatred with compassion and love. Love for all living beings."

- Jane Goodall
