Elwood, who was crowned the 'world's ugliest dog' has died unexpectedly at the age of 8 on Thanksgiving morning in New Jersey.
The dog, which was a cross between chihuahua and Chinese crested, was a very homely and lovable dog, and has had a book written about him, ABC News reported.
Elwood was completely hairless except for a tuft on his head and a tongue that was permanently out on one side and became an asset after it won the title in 2007 at the Marin-Sonoma County Fair in California.
