On Memorial Day 2004, the annual Wiener Dog Dash was held at Albuquerque Downs, with
proceeds to benefit Animal Humane Association. A
great time was had by all:
On the day of the race, the contestants were preparing themselves for the big race,
by pacing, ...
meditating, ...
and even carbo-loading.
This little guy was so excited he escaped from the gates twice before the race
even started!
And they're off!
Everybody was a winner ...
but the first pooch to cross the finish line was Hobbes, shown here with "mom"
