The trend continues for the "World's Ugliest Dog." For the second year in a row, the title goes to a Chinese Crested purebred named Archie. He looks remarkably similar (hairless, a few moles, lolling tongue) to last year's late winner, Sam - who was, in my humble opinion, pretty ugly.

Archie was "crowned" at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California last Friday. 18 dogs vied for the title, coming from all parts of the country, including Washington, DC, Florida, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. But it was Archie - from Arizona - who took home two trophies and $1,000 in prize money. Owner Heather Peoples helped Archie put his best face forward by carrying him on his back where everyone could view his hideous underbelly.

You can check out the video here from our CBS affiliate in San Francisco. It was among more than 30 different media outlets at the fair, with reporters coming from as far away as Germany and Japan. Animal Planet shot the entire contest for a show to be released next fall.
