The FIDO Awards 2025 ceremony took place in London, UK, and has been dubbed the "Oscar of Dogs " by film critics. This prestigious award, founded by film journalist Toby Rose in 2007, recognizes the best performances by dogs in both feature films and animation.

This year, the main award went to Peggy, the ugliest dog in the UK, who became a real movie star thanks to her role in the movie Deadpool and Wolverine, according to FIDO Awards. This unusual Chinese crested pug-like dog was in the spotlight after actor Ryan Reynolds picked her up during the premiere screening of the movie in London. Peggy played the role of Dogpool, the protagonist's faithful partner, and now her name is forever engraved in the history of cinema.

Winners of the FIDO Awards 2025

Blockbuster Bowser (Best Dog in an Action Movie) – Jean Claude ("The QB and Me").

RomCom Rover (best dog in a romantic comedy) – Rockster ("Bridget Jones. Mad About the Boy").

Historical Hound (the best dog in a historical movie) – Pimpao ("I'm Still Here").

Mutt Moment (a dog that was memorable in one shot) – Alsatian ("Babygirl").

Comedy Canine (Best Dog Comedy) – Peggy ("Deadpool and Wolverine").

The top prize (BFI Best in World) goes to Peggy ("Deadpool and Wolverine").

This award is the highest recognition for dogs in the film industry, and Peggy has proven that even an unconventional appearance can make her a real star. In a conversation with the BBC last year, the animal's owner said: "We forget that Peggy is a 'non-standard' dog, and we know very well that some people will call her ugly. It's always a joke, and we're not offended, and neither is she."
