Inside the life of Britain's ugliest dog: From the runt of an accidental litter to hitting Hollywood with Ryan Reynolds - how Peggy the Pug and Chinese Crested cross became a worldwide hit Peggy, a four-year-old pug and Chinese Crested cross, made her movie debut By Emily Jane Davies Published: 09:20, 23 July 2024 | Updated: 09:30, 23 July 2024 e-mail View comments A dog with tufts of hair on her head and a mostly hairless body with a long tongue drooping out of her mouth is an unlikely movie star. But Britain's ugliest dog has been snapped alongside A-list actors Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman for Marvel's upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine film. Peggy, a pug and Chinese Crested cross - or pugese - was officially voted in as the most unsightly pooch in the country last year.
Rather than feeling self-conscious about her quirky looks, Peggy - encouraged by her doting owner - struts about with pride. Owned by Holly Middleton, from Leven, East Yorkshire, the unusual dog looked right at home on the red carpet as she posed in front of the cameras. The four-year-old was seen posing with the actors during a promotional event at the Eventim Apollo in London yesterday, wearing her superhero costume.
