A two year old English Bulldog was crowned winner of the 27th annual Drake's Most Beautiful Bulldog Contest, after beating the other 49 contestants.
The contest marks the beginning of the Drake Relays, one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious track and field meets.
The panel of judges pored over a random assortment of drooling, grunting canines with a much different purpose than their Westminster Kennel Club counterparts.
Bowed legs, deep wrinkles, bloodshot eyes, protruding teeth and clever costumes were considered strong attributes.
As the winner, Hannah will serve a yearlong term as the official mascot of both the Relays and Drake University.
Amanda Millard, co-owner of Hannah, promised that Hannah will take time out from her favorite activities - digging in the mud and dining on foot wear - and honor the office of Beautiful Bulldog with style.
