Britain's ugliest dog, Peggy the pugese, made a stunning appearance on the red carpet with Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman ahead of the release of Deadpool & Wolverine. The pug and Chinese crested cross, affectionately known as "Dogpool," is making her film debut in the highly anticipated movie.


Peggy, donning her superhero costume, was photographed with Reynolds and Jackman during a promotional event at the Eventim Apollo in London on Thursday. To celebrate the film's release, HMV has temporarily replaced its traditional dog-and-gramophone logo with an image of Peggy on the sign of its flagship Oxford Street store.

Peggy, the cherished pet of Holly Middleton from Leven in East Yorkshire, was entered into the UK's ugliest dog contest after Middleton adopted her at six months old. Despite her title, Middleton has always described Peggy as "beautiful both inside and out."


Reynolds discovered Peggy and felt she embodied the spirit of Deadpool's alter ego, Wade Wilson. In an interview with Empire Magazine in May, Reynolds revealed that Peggy's role started as a "tiny little afterthought" but quickly became a "staple" of the movie.

HMV's Oxford Street store received a temporary "makeover" to coincide with the film's UK release on 26 July. A spokesperson stated, “HMV's famous canine icon was given a new superhero look as part of in-store events taking place on Friday 12 July."
