Texas Willy

Get A Long Little Doggie

8-year-old 'Willy' carried a Cowboy doll on a saddle Saturday at the 3rd Annual Dachshund Stampede at St. Luke Episcopal Church in La Union, New Mexico, just west of Canutillo, Texas. Gift bags were given to the first, second and third place winners. The first Dachshund races started at the church five years ago when the dogs ran through enclosed chutes, said Rev. Jeff Lambert. The dogs now run in an open field with their handlers. Willy was an attention-getting spectator rather than a racer at the event.
