Once upon a time, Peggy was just a normal rescue dog. Sure, she may have got strange looks from people when she was out being walked, but she was adored by her adoptive family, and that was all that mattered. And then, in 2023, she was officially crowned "Britain's Ugliest Dog", and now she's an award-winning Hollywood actress and social media star, best known for her role as Dogpool in the 2024 MCU film Deadpool & Wolverine.

In this week's episode of the Animal Nerd Podcast, we dive deep into this beautiful girl's entire life story, from humble beginnings to international stardom, and so much more!

Important note: Unfortunately I wasn't able to import my show when I was switching hosting platforms, and as a result I'm having to re-upload my podcast from the start. Because of that, these early episodes are not indictive of the show's current quality - both in terms of the equipment used and my own skills as a writer & presenter - so apologies for that! Hopefully before too long I'll have caught up to my current output. In the meantime, you can check out my full back catalogue of episodes, and catch up with my newer content, over on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp6MWEI1w5ZrPiEM7zZKmgvtqhmWWbpeB
