A Neapolitan Mastiff named Martha was crowned the World's Ugliest Dog in the 29th year of the annual contest.

The 125-pound rescue dog beat 13 other ugly dogs for the title.

Martha's handler calls her a "drooling, snoring, gassy, loud and silly girl."

She has bright red eyes and excessive flaps of skin hanging near her mouth.

For snagging the honor, Martha gets $1,500, a trophy and a trip to New York with a human companion.
