Christmas Wishes From World's Ugliest Dog

Our old friend (and Urlesque favorite) Rascal is the ugliest dog in the world. No, seriously, he's been bestowed that title by "officials." Laugh all you want, but it is quite a serious name to live up to.

Of course, such a designation comes with its perks. Like any good King, Queen, or Ugliest Something, Rascal has been awarded the opportunity to croon "Silent Night" for fans of both Christmas and unsightly creatures.

Visit SingingUglyDog.com, where you can watch Rascal's gripping performance, then send it as a holiday greeting to friends, family, and gorgeous dogs everywhere.
