Meet Muppet: The UK’s Ugliest Dog with the Biggest Heart 🐶❤️
We’re thrilled to celebrate one of the most unique and lovable members of the Urban Paws family, Muppet, a 12-year-old Chinese Crested who has just been crowned the UK’s Ugliest Dog! With his perpetually lolling tongue, missing teeth, and unmistakable charm, Muppet has stolen hearts across the country.
The title was awarded in a nationwide competition organised by Parrot Print, culminating in a live final on ITV’s This Morning. Muppet, with his endearing “wonky” looks and radiant personality, outshone seven other finalists to take home the top spot. But for those who know him, it’s not just his looks that make him unforgettable—it’s his inner beauty.
Owner Bev Nicholson couldn’t be prouder of her special companion. “Muppet might look a bit different, but he’s beautiful inside and out,” she shared. “He’s not just a pink dog with a comb-over—he’s a loving, one-of-a-kind soul.”
Muppet’s win also comes with a special sense of legacy, as his brother Mugly won the World’s Ugliest Dog competition back in 2012. It seems being extraordinary runs in the family!
As part of his prize, Muppet enjoyed a luxury pamper session at a doggie spa. This included a mud bath to soothe his skin and a festive photoshoot to capture his unique charm.
Head judge Matt Dahan summed it up perfectly: “Muppet is both cute and ugly at the same time.” It’s this paradox that has made him such a star—not just in the competition but in the lives of everyone he meets.
At Urban Paws Agency, we’re incredibly proud to represent dogs like Muppet. His story reminds us that beauty comes in all forms. Muppet’s charm isn’t just skin deep. His resilience, personality, and loveable nature make him a true ambassador for rescue dogs everywhere.
Congratulations, Muppet! You’ve shown the world that “ugly” is just another word for unforgettable.
