He beat a skin tumor and a cat...

but unfortunately, could not beat cancer :(

Florida lost a great champion this past week in Gus, the 9 year old Chinese crested dog, who succumbed to cancer this week. Despite the money from his 3 time championships going toward his radiation, he was not able to make it through.

His 3 titles? "World's Ugliest Dog."

Apparently Gus' unique look was the result of losing a leg to a skin tumor, and an eye to a cat fight. But he persevered through these challenges to win three national titles at the contest held in Sonoma, California.

So rest in peace Gus, and HOORAY FLORIDA for being home to such a (unique) champion.
