Sam (November 7, 1990 – November 18, 2005) was a blind, pure-bred Chinese Crested dog, and three-time champion of the annual Sonoma-Marin Fair World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Northern California in 2003–2005. His ugliness made him famous worldwide.
His owner, Santa Barbara resident Susie Lockheed, took him in as a rescue dog in 1999 from his first owner.
Because of problems with his heart, Sam was euthanized on November 18, 2005, just 11 days after his 15th birthday.
