Jessica Burkard of Penngrove, Calif., saw a beautiful companion for her St. Bernard when she found Martha, a 125-pound Neapolitan mastiff.

Her father saw something else: a “train wreck.”

The judges sided with the father.

Martha, with her droopy red eyes, uncontrollable drool and baggy skin, is, as one person described her, “so ugly she’s beautiful.” And on Friday, she was named the “World’s Ugliest Dog” at the Sonoma-Marin Fair.
