I’m Josie. This is my eighth time coming to Petaluma for the World’s Ugliest Dog© Contest. It is my favorite thing to do, next to laying around in the sun in Tucson, Arizona, my home. I was born in a puppy mill and lived there the first two years of my life. I was rescued by SAFE, Saving Animals from Euthanasia. My mom, Linda, was my foster. She could not resist my good looks and charming personality, so she adopted me herself. This year my whole family is traveling from Tucson to watch me outshine the competition.
