People in Texas sure do love their dachshund races don't they? This one is hosted by Rescue the Animals in Abilene, Texas.
Dachshund Races at Perini Ranch in Buffalo GapThe event takes place July 12th, so you have plenty of time to get registered if you want to race.
Our family attended this good ol’ hometown event with friends. What a great time we had!! Absolutely side-splitting and heart-warming to see these little guys “GO”!!
My son, aged 14 at the time, spoke at length with one of the event hosts from the SPCA/ Love at First Site organization. My son offered to make him/ the SPCA a commercial on the web to heighten the awareness and need of adopting a pet from the local shelter vs buying one from a breeder. He currently has over 81,000 hits on youtube and has turned any profits from the spot over to the SPCA of Texas.
If, you, too, would like to view his short commercial you can simply go to youtube and type in SPCA commercial—it is the 4th one down from the top
(Immediately after Sarah McLachlan’s professional spots!!) Not bad for a freshman in High school, eh?! Yeah, we’re pretty proud of him!
If you haven’t yet been to the Dachshund Races at Perini Ranch (Mr. and Mrs. Perini have several cherished dachshunds) I highly recommend it!! It is hilarious and you will meet a lot of very nice people along with their four legged-friends!!
