A winning Sunday: portraits in bulldog beauty
More than a thousand people and hundreds of dogs — from as far away as Arizona and San Francisco — turned a Long Beach park into a bulldog wonderland this afternoon at Justin Rudd’s Fifth Annual Bulldog Beauty Contest. English bulldogs, French bulldogs, pugs and senior dogs competed in separate pageants, and the crowd was full of furry funny faces. The atmosphere was all smiles. We’ll link to contest results when they’re posted, for now Extreme Cuteness Alert: run the photo slideshow above at your own risk!
