Calling all unsightly pooches!

It's that time of year again, when deformities are a dog's best assets. A time when snaggle-toothed terriers, hunchbacked hounds and one-eyed Chinese cresteds earn international recognition in an anti-beauty pageant for dogs at the Sonoma-Marin Fair.

The 2017 World's Ugliest Dog Contest is set for Friday.
