At the Movies: Wiener Takes All

If there were any event I might want to see in person besides the World's Ugliest Dog Competition, it'd be a screening of Wiener Takes All! I've been hearing rumblings for weeks now about this new "dogumentary" that takes a behind-the-scenes look at competitive dachshund racing, and I finally found the trailer. While I definitely don't support dog racing of any kind, I've heard the film is packed with juicy bits of controversy – lying, cheating, steroids! – about this, well, controversial sport.

Since the dogs are oh-so-adoro, and they've been selling out all screenings during their recent Film Festival tour, I have a feeling Wiener Takes All must pack a pretty powerful pawful of information to be so popular. Check out the cute trailer for this indie film when you read more.

Although I don't agree with animal racing, this action shot of Simon Hays reminds me of the wiener-dog racing flick Wiener Takes All. I'm already in love with Simon, so just imagining his little legs powering him to the finish line really makes me chuckle.

Congrats to Simon Hays and iMac addict for being chosen as our Pet Pic of the Day! Don't forget to send in your favorite photos to our Pet Pics group - you may just see your furry pals make a cameo on PetSugar!
