The dog who upstaged beauty queens
A gorgeous ‘random’ dog upstaged beauty queens after sneaking onto their runway during Miss São Mateus do Sul 2022, in Brazil. The pooch made his way through the podium before making a dramatic exit into the crowd.
The dog, who appeared ‘out of nowhere’, was in the spotlight for about eight seconds but that was enough to steal the show from everyone else all evening. The adorable moment has been shared on TikTok by user danieli.weber.
They wrote:
This dog invaded the catwalk at the time of the miss candidate parade. What grade would you give? I rate 1,000.
It is not known how the dog managed to find his way into the beauty pageant but judging by the audience's reaction, they were pleased it did.
Commenting on the video, one user said:
After Gisele Bündchen, this is the best model in the world.
Another user added:
Is this someone's dog? If not, I hope he gets adopted.
A third user said:
The most beautiful parade I've ever seen.
Are there beauty pageants for dogs?
Beauty pageants for dogs took place in the past but lost support from animal lovers due to welfare concerns and the stress it inflicts on animals. All dogs are gorgeous, aren’t they?
But it is still possible to take part in the dog photo competitions such as Prize Paws, Cute Pet, and King Pet.
Organisers offer generous prizes such as dog care products and thousands of pounds in cash.
