In this June 26, 2009 file photo, Miss Ellie celebrates her win in the "World's Ugliest Dog Contest" at the Sonoma-Marin Fair, in Petaluma, Calif. The small, bug-eyed Chinese Crested Hairless dog whose pimples and lolling tongue helped her to also win Animal Planet's "World's Ugliest Dog" contest in 2009, has died at age 17 after a career in resort show business in the Smoky Mountains.

'World's Ugliest Dog' passes away

Rest in Peace, Miss Ellie.

    Thank you Krista. You could take one look at her and tell she was a smart dog.

    She will be missed, especially at Halloween.
