Peggy (born c. early 2018) is a British Pugese dog actress. Peggy was born sometime in 2018 as the runt of an accidental litter, being adopted online by Holly Middleton. Peggy achieved notice for winning the title of Britain's ugliest dog, and later made television appearances, gaining popularity for her "ugliness".

After gaining notice from Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, Peggy made her acting debut as Dogpool in his 2024 film Deadpool & Wolverine, a role she underwent extensive training for. She is nominated for a Fidos Award for her work on the film.

Early life

Holly Middleton adopted Peggy online near the end of 2018. She was six months old at the time, and she was the runt of an accidental litter.[1][2] Peggy was named after Middleton's great-grandmother.[3] She is a crossbreed between a Pug and a Chinese Crested Dog, also known as a Pugese.[4][5][6] In 2023, Peggy was entered into an ugly dog competition held by a photography printing firm called ParrotPrint.[4] She won, earning the title of "Britain's ugliest dog,"[1] and the founder of ParrotPrint described Peggy's success as "a classic rags to riches story."[7]

Film career

Peggy (in costume as Dogpool) and Ryan Reynolds in 2024.

Due to her success in the ugly dog competition, she appeared on television and eventually entered the film industry.[8] She appeared on BBC Breakfast,[9][10] and later actor Ryan Reynolds posted a picture of Peggy in a Deadpool costume on social media, revealing that she would appear as an animal actor in the 2024 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Deadpool & Wolverine.[11][12] Reynolds stated that he was a proponent for Peggy's inclusion in the film because "she feels like the animal manifestation of Wade Wilson."[13][14]

For the film, Peggy was trained by animal trainer Jules Tottman; she had no prior training.[15] According to Reynolds, Peggy underwent more training for the film than his co-star Hugh Jackman.[14] Jumping into Reynolds' arms on command took about eight weeks for her to learn,[16] and she was coaxed into licking his face with cheese.[17]

Peggy walked the red carpet with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman at the film's premiere in London.[18] To celebrate, HMV temporarily replaced the image of Nipper on their logo with Peggy.[5] She also appeared at an event in Kingston upon Hull to meet with fans in August 2024.[7]

In October 2024, Peggy was nominated for a Fidos Award for her work in Deadpool & Wolverine.[19] The awards ceremony is planned to take place in February 2025.[20]
