Britain’s ugliest dog, a Chinese-crested hairless named Chase, has died

His owner told the BBC that Chase, 16, with a cataract and no teeth, died of pancreatitis.

"Even at the end he didn't lose his sparkle," Storm Shayler she said. "He was a small dog with the biggest personality and really was one of a kind."

Chase came in third at the 2017 World’s Ugliest Dog contest in California.

"He lapped up all the attention on the day like a little star and loved showing himself off," Shayler told the BBC.

A 3-year-old Neapolitan mastiff named Martha won the contest that year and a Brussels Griffon pug mix named Moe took second place in the contest.
