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

replied the dog was a lit-
tle of everything: “Just a
‘Heinz 57.’”
While King Leonar-
do walked away with the
grand prize, the most
crowd-pleasing category
was the owner/dog look-

alike. 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.”
