Scamp the Tramp will never win a beauty contest. But hes won an ugly one.

The bug-eyed, dreadlocked pooch took top honors Friday night at the 31st annual Worlds Ugliest Dog Contest.

Owner Yvonne Morones of Santa Rosa, California, won an appearance with Scamp on the Today show, $1,500 in cash, another $1,500 to donate to an animal shelter and a trophy the size of a Rottweiler.

Hes Scamp the Champ, no longer Scamp the Tramp, Morones told the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat after the victory. I think the audience saw his beautiful spirit and everything hes given back to the community.

Scamp makes volunteer visits to schoolchildren and a local senior citizens center.

The street dog from Compton was rescued by Morones in 2014 after she spotted him on Pet Finder.
