Britain's ugliest dog searches for new life after being abandoned

His name is Hubble. And you don't need a telescope to see that he is not exactly a handsome hound.

The eight-year-old terrier-type cross has part of his nose and mouth missing as a result of an injury he suffered in his youth.

A fortnight ago the dog was rescued by animal rescue workers after he was discovered tied up in a wood after his owners abandoned him because of his ugly looks.



And now they are looking to find the unsightly pooch a new, more loving owner – preferably someone who prefers personality to looks.

Amanda Sands, the manager of the Dogs Trust centre in Leeds, said the black terrier-type cross looked even worse when he was first brought in. He had several rotting canine teeth and infected gums, which were removed and treated with antibiotics.

She said: ‘Hubble is one of the strangest looking dogs I’ve ever seen but he makes up for it in personality. Even though he looks quite odd it kind of gives him a cute factor.’
