Dachshund vs Rattlesnake
Dachshunds really are fearless. I came upon Franzi (my chocolate doxie) barking up a storm and bobbing and weaving around a rattlesnake.

Doxie therapy is the best therapy
I wish all my doxies had been in the hospital with me. I would have recovered much faster. https://twitter.com/dachshund_10/status/1688146948061315073?s=20 Dachshund Therapy. Photo credit @dachshund_10 via twitter

The First Official Olympic Mascot Was a Beloved Breed
November 21, 2014 National Purebred Dog Day® In 1972, Munich’s Summer Games saw the first ever inclusion of an official Olympic mascot in the form of “Waldi,” a Dachshund selected for attributes described as required for Olympic athletes: Resistance, tenacity and agility. “Waldi” was based on Cherie von Birkenhof, a real long-haired Dachshund that Munich Games Organizing Committee President, Willi Daume, had given to Félix Lévitan, the International Sports Press Association President in 1970. “Cherie,” was the model for Waldi’s creator, German designer, Otl Aicher (who also participated in the logo design for German airline, Lufthansa).
