It is my honor to introduce you to Rascal. Rascal is a prime example that outer beauty isn’t everything. In fact, Rascal has been voted “World’s Ugliest Dog” numerous times.
The 7-pound Chinese Crested is a relative of Chi-Chi, the Guinness World Record’s 8-time Ugliest Dog Recipient.
For those who know Rascal, his inner beauty makes him an extremely special dog. His owner Dane Andrew says, “To me, he’s a beautiful dog, and those who know him kind of think so too after meeting him.”
Rascal has made his fair share of appearances and accumulated a mass amount of fans and celebrity counterparts.
