Meet Lucey, recent winner of Drake University’s Most Beautiful Bulldog Pageant. She aspires to be a therapy dog and promises to devote her reign to the pursuit of world peace. (Okay, I made that last part up.)

I look forward to this announcement every year, but I’m sorry, these are the funniest photos I’ve seen in a loooong time. These poor pooches look so humiliated. I want to squeeze all of them — and I cannot stop laughing.

“Omigosh, they painted my toenails blue. That’s it; my will is broken.”

“Abe Lincoln? Yeah, guess it could be worse. They could’ve dressed me like the clown.”

“Dude. This suuuucks.”

“I don’t want to hear it, clown. I’m wearing garters on my paws.”

“I don’t know what you babies are crying about. Princess is in the house.”

Already looking forward to next year’s pageant.
