Meeting Mugly: The Ugliest Dog In The World

Any world in which this scene can happen makes me happy. That is: a pooch in a T-Rex costume, next to a pair of size 11 stilettoes. Happy days.

This is The Canine Games at Bethnal Green Working Mens Club, a glittery, biscuity, slobbery afternoon of the most pampered bitches in East London strutting their stuff. You can read my full write up of the event, and see all my photos over on To-Do List today.

Most importantly, i met Mugly, officially the ugliest dog in the world 2012. I think he's just misunderstood.

Of course i took my partner in crime with me (not that he minded this assignment, he was in doggy heaven) so i treated him to lunch afterward. We were going to Shoreditch High Street station, so we stopped off at BoxPark, the pop up mall. We went to Bukowski Grill, a recently launched joint venture between fine dining chef Robin Freeman and kitchen-veteran-turned-entrepreneur Alberto Figueroa. If you're in the area, i really recommend it. I had a veggie burger that was so full of yummy charcoal grill flavour, and the boy had a perfectly juicy and tender hangar steak sandwich. We didn't have chips, but they looked EPIC.

So, what are you doing this weekend? Any dogs in costumes involved?
