World's ugliest dog dies at 17

Miss Ellie, a small, bug-eyed Chinese Crested Hairless dog whose pimples and lolling tongue helped her win Animal Planet's World's Ugliest Dog contest last year, has died at age 17 after a career in resort showbusiness in the Smoky Mountains.

The Mountain Press reported on Thursday that Ellie starred in shows at the Comedy Barn in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

She also appeared on The Animal Planet cable show, Dogs 101, and was on billboards and in a commercial.
