All hail Patch: Meet the bulldog named Most Beautiful in Drake University's annual contest
While the Drake Relays brings some of the best athletes on the planet to Des Moines, it also brings some of the more unathletic creatures to the city in the form of the lovable English bulldog.
Drake hosted the 44th annual Beautiful Bulldog Contest on Monday night as 29 bulldogs, and their owners, hoped to be crowned the top dog for the Drake Relays.
Drake women's basketball coach Allison Pohlman was one of the judges.
"Well, I do think I'm pretty good at evaluation, but a lot was thrown at me today. And so, I don't think that this is anything you can ever prepare for," Pohlman said.
The winner of this year's contest was Patch, a bulldog whose owners live in Johnston.
vlog's Jeff Dubrof was there and got to meet all those loud bulldogs.
