Riggs, a 3 year old male bulldog was announced as the winner of the “Beautiful Bulldog” contest, an annual event held to draw attention to the 98th running of the Drake Relays. The Drake Relays is one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious track and field events, which is estimated to attract nearly 8,000 athletes this year.
Riggs emerged as a winner after beating out a 50-dog field that included the likes of Sir Grizwald Snorzalot, Napoleon Underbite and Crazy Legs Da Moose. Contest organizers acknowledged that the contest takes personality rather then beauty as a criterion for the judgment. Rigg was dressed in a fitting costume in Drake’s blue and white colors.
His owner, Cordell Miller said, ‘He’s the most beautiful bulldog (with) his attitude and his demeanor. He’s just kind of stout, and he’s ready to do this. He’s very excited.‘ Riggs celebrated and enjoyed posing for photographers while munching on a doggy bone.
