Peggy (born c. early 2018) is a British dog notable for winning the title of Britain's ugliest dog. She gained popularity for her ugliness, and will make her acting debut as Dogpool in the 2024 film Deadpool & Wolverine.
Holly Middleton adopted Peggy online near the end of 2018. She was six months old at the time, and she was the runt of an accidental litter.[1][2] Peggy was named after Middleton's great-grandmother.[3] She is a crossbreed between a Pug and a Chinese Crested Dog, also known as a Pugese.[4] In 2023, Peggy entered into an ugly dog competition held by a photography printing firm called ParrotPrint.[4] She won, earning the title of "Britain's ugliest dog".[1]
Due to her success in the ugly dog competition, she appeared on television and would eventually enter the film industry.[5] She appeared on BBC Breakfast,[6][7] and later actor Ryan Reynolds posted a picture of Peggy in a Deadpool costume on social media, revealing that she would appear as an animal actor in the 2024 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Deadpool & Wolverine.[8][9]
