Sam (November 7, 1990 – November 18, 2005) was a blind pure-bred Chinese Crested hairless and toothless dog, and three time champion of the annual Sonoma-Marin Fair World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Northern California in 2003–2005. His ugliness gained him international fame and celebrity – his death was a top headline on major news websites.
Sam lived for 15 years.
