8A | WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 2019 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL Canine from A1 look-alike, best costume and best trick — Sexton provided constant affir- mation to the pups that they were all winners. But ultimately, the one true winner for ugliest dog was the 19-year-old Yorkshire Terrier named King Leonardo. With tufts of hair sticking in different directions, the blind and toothless dog sniffed the competition — a dog named Honey — before unanimously taking home the first- place trophy. King Leonardo’s own- er, Connie Thornton, had no intentions of entering her dog in the contest and certainly did not think he would have a shot at winning. “I didn’t make the de- cision, my son did,” she said. “I didn’t think he was ugly, but I said ‘OK. Well now, I’m kind of proud of him.’” Surprisingly, this wasn’t Thornton’s first foray into the ugly dog contest. With this victo- ry she is now, she esti- mates, a five-time cham- pion at BMD. “Years ago, I had this dog that was really ugly and she won the ugly dog contest four years in a row,” said Thornton. “One of my girlfriends told me at that time, ‘Connie, you saved that dog’s life because no- body else would have.” When asked what kind of dog it was, Thornton Clockwise from top left: Ugliest Dog contest win- ner King Leonardo (far left) with fellow entry Honey; look-alike win- ners Adaline and Bonnie; contestant Daisy.

Walking across the gazebo stage with a matching head of blonde curly hair was the two- year-old dog Bonnie be- ing escorted by two-year- old human, Adaline. The pair took home the first- place trophy. “For two years, we’ve always compared the two of them as twins,” said Katie Humphries, Adaline’s mom. Bonnie belongs to her sister-in- law Ashley Kemp and to- gether Kemp and Hum- phries knew they had to enter. “About two days ago, I saw the Ugly Dog Con- test and was like, ‘Oh, there’s a look alike? I’m going, I think we could win,’” said Kemp. Winning best costume was 12-year-old Summer Crosby and her dog, Lit- ten. The duo dressed in their wedding best with Summer in a white dress and Litten wearing a coat and tie. Completing a litany of tricks includ- ing sit, lay down, shake, high five and beg, Isabel Edelblute and her dog, Jeeves, took home the crown in the best trick category. After the awards and dog treats were handed out, organizer Sexton was still ready for more. “I love all dogs. I can’t pass a dog without pet- ting them, so being a judge for a dog contest is just utopia for me,” said Sexton. “I would love to see it continue and I would love to do it next year.” Worship Directory COTTAGE GROVE: 6th & Gibbs Church of Christ 195 N. 6th St. • 541-942-3822 10:00am Christian Education: Pre-K through 5th www.6thandgibbs.com First Presbyterian Church 3rd and Adams St 541-942-4479 Rev.: Karen Hill Worship: 10:00am Sunday School: 10:00am fpcgrove.com Calvary Baptist Church 77873 S 6th St • 541-942-4290 Pastor: Riley Hendricks Sunday School: 9:45am Worship: 11:00am The Journey: Sunday 5:00pm Praying Thru Life: Wednesday 6:00pm Hope Fellowship United Pentecostal Church 100 S.
