Slideshow: Miss Ellie, former 'World’s Ugliest Dog' winner, dies at age 17

The winner of several 'ugliest dog' contests last year has died at the age of 17.

Miss Ellie won her coveted titles over 60,000 other contestants and was currently starring in a comedy show in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

UK tabloid The Sun reports that the bug-eyed, pimply Chinese Crested Hairless also helped raised more than $100,000 for animal charities, including the Humane Society.

Miss Ellie’s owner, Dawn Goehiring has plans to open an animal shelter in her memory, according to the Sun.

Reports indicate Miss Ellie will be cremated.
