EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the moment when Aldin, a Bull Terrier, was crowned as the 'Ugliest Dog' at the 1927 Dog Show. The annual event, which took place in the United States, drew a large crowd of spectators eager to witness the unique and unusual canine contestants. Aldin, with his distinctive features and peculiar appearance, stood out among the other contestants. His wrinkled skin, bulging eyes, and twisted jaw gave him an unmistakable and somewhat unsettling appearance. Yet, it was precisely these features that earned him the title of the ugliest dog in the show. The Bull Terrier breed, known for its muscular build and distinctive egg-shaped head, was already considered an unusual breed in the 1920s. But Aldin took this uniqueness to a new level, becoming a symbol of the quirks and oddities that make the dog world so fascinating. The history of the 'Ugliest Dog' contest can be traced back to this very moment, with Aldin setting the standard for what would become an enduring and beloved tradition in the world of dog shows. The contest, which continues to this day, celebrates the unique and often misunderstood breeds and individuals that make the dog world so diverse and interesting. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the unexpected beauty that can be found in the most unlikely of places. Aldin's story serves as a reminder that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that even the most unusual and seemingly unattractive creatures can capture our hearts and imaginations.
