YUGLY

Yugly is a kind-hearted puppy, and the ugliest dog in the world.... no one wants to adopt him! As he finds himself alone, against all odds, his ultimate dream becomes to participate in the best dog show with hopes to find his forever owner!

Yugly is a loving dog with a unique smile. But to a human eye, Yugly is also the ugliest dog ever! Because of his 'challenging' appearance, Yugly is never picked for adoption. After his mom dies, he is abandoned by his owners. When he watches the Best in Dog Show on TV and sees how much love the winner gets from his owner, Yugly has only one thing on his mind... He must participate in the competition where he will find an owner! But needless to say, Yugly does not match the beauty standards of the show. Determined to make his dream come true, he befriends a pack of misfits he meets at the pound.... and the adventure starts!

She is Gerald and Martha’s show dog: she’s a beautiful Afghan Greyhound, three times Best in Dog Show finalist and dog model for UNIQUE by Shampwoof. Lady Hawkeye is slightly posh (after all, she’s been trained to be a show dog!) and kind-hearted. To Gerald and Martha, she is just a trophy to get to their ultimate goal: win the Best in Dog Show and be accepted into high-society. While Hawkeye deeply dislike her owners, she has developed a strong bond with Molly, her handler.

Molly is a young woman and Lady Hawkeye's trainer. She is the only human who shows unconditional love to dogs, no matter what they look like. She is the polar opposite of her employers, Martha and Gerald Chesterton. She saves Yugly's life and gives him his real name: Yugly, a mix of his old name, ugly and unique. She takes him home and cares for him, like no human ever did. When he mysteriously disappears, she is devastated and, together with Lady Hawkeye, Molly looks for him everywhere....

She is a charismatic Komondor with fur that looks like dreadlocks. At first, she pretends to be a stray dog, trying to hide her real story: her owner used her as an accessory to show off on social media. Because of this, Virginia mistrusts everyone and especially humans. Although she is a bit harsh to Yugly when they first meet at the pound, she soon grows attached to his goodwill and optimism and decides to help him get to the dog show.

He is an old bulldog who ended up at the dog pound after his owner died, bubt when Yugly helps the pack break free from the pound, and gives him Geezer the skateboard, he feels full of life and energy again...!

He is a Rottweiler and a veteran dog who was adopted by a group of headbangers. He spent his daily life in captivity, chained to a spike in the ground before a doghouse. When he spots the dog pack getting closer to him, he viciously foams and barks. But as soon as Yugly unhooks his collar, Skull rediscovers what it feels like to be free. In exchange, he helps out the pack by fetching some kibbles. Deeply grateful, Skull is willing to help Yugly do the show, no matter what it takes.

He’s a white teacup poodle who aspires to be a stand-up comedian despite an obvious lack of talent. Jerry J. is slightly despicable: although he has the means to, he refuses to free the dogs at the pound in order to keep them as his captive audience. But Yugly manages to convince him to free them by promising that Jerry will perform for the wide audience of the Deluxe Treat Arena. On the road to the show, Jerry J. gets on everyone’s nerves with his selfish remarks and unfunny jokes, if he is not spending his time quarreling with Geezer....

He’s a Great Dane, and meets Yugly at the dog pound. Puppaccino thinks that his owner abandoned him because he was getting too big. As a result he feels overly shy and uncomfortable in his body. Holding onto the memory of his former owner, he constantly keeps the tennis ball they used to play with inside his mouth, which makes him utterly unintelligible. Indeed, he squeaks instead of speaking!
