A one-eyed, three-legged dog that won the title of world's ugliest pooch has died.
The St Petersburg Times in Florida reports that Gus, a Chinese crested dog, had cancer.
He was 9.
Gus won the annual contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in northern California this year. His family in Gulfport rescued him after learning he was being kept in a crate inside someone's garage.
He had one leg amputated because of a skin tumour and lost an eye in a cat fight.
