'Ugliest dog' Deadpool star wins top prize at canine Oscars

Finally, in the United Kingdom, Peggy, a five-year-old pug and Chinese crested mix, has won the Best Canine Newcomer award at the Fidos Awards, an Academy Award for dogs, in London.

Peggy had been crowned Britain's Ugliest Dog in 2023 for her unique appearance, characterized by her sparse white hair and tongue sticking out.

Those looks caught the attention of filmmakers, leading her to the role of "Dogpool" in the blockbuster "Deadpool and Wolverine."

On set, Peggy charmed co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, mastering tricks like jumping into Reynolds' arms.

Her journey from rescue dog to successful silver screen star has inspired many to consider adopting rescue dogs.
