Prayers are with Gus's family

Gus, the World's Ugliest Dog, has past away.  Gus, a chinese crested who had one eye and three legs, won the title of World's Ugliest Dog this summer.

According to the St. Petersburg Times in Florida, Gus has cancer.  He was 9 yrs. old.

Gus came from humble origins.  According to the fair, his adopted family in Gulfport, FL., rescued him after learning he was being kept in a crate inside someone's garage.

He had one leg amputated because of a skin tumor and lost an eye in a cat fight.
