These Dachshunds may be short on inches but they're definitely long on style. Dressed as hot dogs, the kind you eat, they are the adorable participants in the Running of the Wieners - a dog race to mark the opening of Oktoberfest in Cincinnati, United States.
The race, which took place on September 18, witnessed the sausage-shaped dogs competing for first prize with gritted teeth. They are serious about winning, never mind that everyone around is fainting with delight.
