Peanut's owner, Holly Chandler of Greenville, North Carolina, says he was seriously burned as a puppy and she wants to use her pet to raise awareness about animal abuse.

The dogs are scored by a three-judge panel in several categories, including special or unusual attributes, personality and natural ugliness.
