Zsa Zsa, the lovable English bulldog who was named the World’s Ugliest Dog last month, has died at 9 years old. The dog died in her sleep early Tuesday morning, owner Megan Brainard told TODAY. “She’s been staying over at my dad’s house. He woke up this morning and found her passed away,” said Brainard, who called Zsa Zsa’s passing “devastating.”
Brainard and her husband, Jesse, spent most of Tuesday visiting a relative in the hospital, which has prevented them from fully “processing” Zsa Zsa’s death. “I’m still in shock … It’s kind of like when she won (the World’s Ugliest Dog contest). It’s been two weeks and I still don’t believe it. It’s probably going to be the same with her passing,” Brainard said.
Once Zsa Zsa’s body was returned home Tuesday morning, the couple and their 15-month-old daughter, Mareslie, held a special farewell ceremony.
“I picked Zsa Zsa up and took her outside and laid her down in the grass. We were all saying our goodbyes and Mareslie went right over and gave her a kiss. It was sweet. She was waving at her,” Brainard shared.
