Start your doggie as it will be no ordinary walk in the park! More than 50 of Arizona’s fastest dachshunds will converge on Feb. 23 to race in the 18th Annual Wiener Nationals – Arizona Regionals race! After winning the regionals, Phoenix dog, Oscar went on to earn the 2012 championship title competing against the victors from nine other regional races held throughout the year. Now he must guard his title as the “Winning Wiener” in 2013. Can he do it again or will another AZ dog claim the top spot?
