From the moment she was dropped off at a South Florida animal shelter, a grayish-brown mutt named Quasi Modo has always turned heads.
With her hunched back and half a spine, the mixed-breed dog has been mistaken for a hyena and for a Tasmanian devil, and even starred in a low budget film as an alien's dog. Her appearance once sent a grown man scurrying to the roof of his car, while a little boy took one look and ran screaming to his parents.
The sweet-natured, 10-year-old dog was just crowned the World's Ugliest Dog, edging out competition from the likes of Sweepee Rambo, a blind Chinese crested Chihuahua mix who's hairless except for his blond Mohawk.
