  Meet the ugliest dog in Britain
Updated 25 July 2002, 14.22

Billy, Britain's ugliest dog
With a face like this Billy the mongrel just had to be famous.

The scruffy mutt's been named Britain's Ugliest Dog because of his daft expression, vampire-like fangs and dog-rough coat.

The 10-year-old whippet cross has two teeth left and six-inch long hairs growing out of his ears!

Dracula extra

His owner Marilyn Flute got him as a stray eight years ago.

She loves Billy to bits but even she says he "looks like an extra from a Dracula film".

So it was no surprise when his appearance drew gasps from the audience at a doggy "beauty" contest in London.

Billy's got the last laugh though - he's been signed by an animal modelling agency.
