PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (June 3, 2010)--A small, bug-eyed Chinese Crested Hairless dog named Miss Ellie whose pimples and lolling tongue helped her win Animal Planet's "World's Ugliest Dog" contest in 2009, has died at age 17.
Ellie starred in shows at the Comedy Barn in Pigeon Forge and also appeared on The Animal Planet cable show "Dogs 101."
She also appeared on billboards and in a commercial.
Pigeon Forge, Tenn. Mayor Keith Whaley proclaimed Nov. 12 as "Miss Ellie Day" in recognition of her owner's efforts to raise money for the local humane society.
Over the years, Ellie helped raise more than $100,000 for the Sevier County Humane Society.
She will be cremated.

She is a beautiful little dog! Not ungly, not one bit...She had a purpose, and she served her purpose very well!
