R.I.P. Sam

The world's ugliest dog, Sam died just short of his 15th birthday. He became famous for his "scary" looks, but was very beautiful with a big heart. His owner, Susie, gave him a great life.

Lockheed said she had Sam euthanized after a veterinarian told her Sam's heart was failing.

She said she's felt a little lost ever since, and is sleeping with Sam's favorite toy -- a stuffed bear he picked up and carried home.

"I have snuggled Sam under my blankets on my bed for six years," said Lockheed, who has three other dogs named TatorTot, TinkerBell and PixieNoodle.
