While it might be a little bit of a strange phenomenon to observe from the side, the age of the ugly doggo is well and truly upon us. From lazy and bulging eyes to tongues that hang freely from mouths, there is something about these less than attractive doggos that has made us hoomans crazy about them.

And while we could try to invoke internet theory to explain how this has become our reality, we would much rather just let you sit back and enjoy this collection of not so cute canines, seeing as you likely clicked through to here because you are one of the many canine obsessed hoomans who especially enjoys the less than appealing visuals of our ugly doggos. So settle in for what promises to be quite the gathering of garish looks, droopy eyes, buck teeth and pretty much any other kind of deviation from the canine norm that we could get our paws on.

  • You know, it is deliciously ironic that the phrase ‘a face that only a mother could love’ was once about undesirably ugly people, but nowadays in the context of ugly doggos who seem to be especially beloved, it is a term of endearment, especially for those mothers who so love their doggos.

  • Lucky for these doggos, being in complete control of one’s faculties is no longer a requirement in the doggo life. Not like when they were used to helping with hunts, today doggos of all kinds are beloved, apparently those who have less control over their faculties are especially loved…
