Sam (dog)

Sam (dog)

Sam (November 1990–November 18, 2005) was a blind pure-bred Chinese Crested hairless dog, and three time champion of the annual Sonoma-Marin Fair World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Northern California in 2003–2005. His ugliness gained him international fame and celebrity – his death was a top headline on major news websites.

Susie Lockheed, his owner and a resident of Santa Barbara, took him in as a rescue dog in 1999.

In 2005, Sam starred on Criss Angel's 2005 "Mindfreak" Halloween Special which aired on the A&E Network. Sam played the role of Angel's cat, dressed up in a Halloween costume.

Due to heart complications Sam was euthanized on November 18, 2005, just shy of his 15th birthday.
