Peggy, aka Dogpool

Peggy, aka Dogpool is a British Pugese dog born around 2018. Who would have thought the runt of her litter with wild hair and hairlessness, wrinkly appearance and perpetually sticking-out tongue would become an international sensation? In 2023, Peggy won Britain’s Ugliest Dog contest, which brought her viral fame and caught the eye of Ryan Reynolds.

Reynolds personally championed her casting as the breakout canine star in Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), where she plays Dogpool—Deadpool’s multiverse dog counterpart and loyal sidekick. With no prior acting experience, Peggy trained extensively and stole scenes alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, instantly becoming a fan favorite.

Despite her unusual look, Peggy’s personality is pure star power: playful, affectionate, and completely unapologetic. Her role as Dogpool introduced audiences to a hilariously chaotic canine counterpart to Deadpool, perfectly matching the franchise’s offbeat humor.

Off-screen, the now-celebrity pup enjoys lounging in her signature pink robe, cuddling her stuffed llama, and charming crowds at fan events. Peggy turned “ugly duckling” into superhero status overnight. From unwanted pup to red carpet celebrity, Peggy’s journey proves that being unique is exactly what makes a star.
