Peggy, a pug crossed with a Chinese Crested and crowned Britain’s Ugliest Dog in 2023, has charmed her way into Hollywood with a breakthrough role in “Deadpool & Wolverine” as Dogpool, Wade Wilson’s canine sidekick. Ryan Reynolds, actor and producer, was instrumental in casting Peggy, praising her as the perfect animal manifestation of Wade Wilson. At the London premiere, Reynolds introduced Peggy, dressed in her black-and-red costume, to the crowd and humorously highlighted her unique appearance.
Peggy’s owner, Holly Middleton from East Yorkshire, adopted her in 2018 when she was the last pup in her litter. Middleton describes Peggy as “beautiful both inside and out” and embraces her unconventional looks with humor. Peggy’s role in the movie expanded from a minor part to a significant presence, reflecting her growing popularity.
With over 180,000 Instagram followers and her own line of Dogpool stuffed animals, Peggy’s star continues to rise. Reynolds’s affection for Peggy was evident as he praised her extensive training and charm, jokingly comparing her efforts to those of co-star Hugh Jackman. Peggy’s journey from Britain’s ugliest dog to a beloved Hollywood star demonstrates her undeniable charisma and appeal.
