EVENT BENEFITS LUCI’S FUND TO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED
About 150 pooches and their people had a doggone good time on Jan. 22, when the ‘Wienerpalooza’ dachshund parade was staged in Key West’s historic downtown.
Participants in the tail-wagging procession, a fundraiser for Luci’s Fund that benefits animals in need, included long- and shorthaired dachshunds as well as some “wiener-dog wannabes” representing other breeds.
While jackets weren’t needed on the balmy day, canine costumes and accessories were common. Dachshunds were dressed as everything from hot dogs in buns to pastel-tailed mermaids and a unicorn with a silver horn.
“Grand marshal” Chester, a dapper 12-year-old rescue dachshund, even sported a tux and a top hat. And a costumed goldendoodle puppy wore a sign declaring him a “dachshund in training.”
The walking route, deliberately kept brief to cater to the dachshunds’ short legs, began at Key West’s red-brick Custom House Museum, then along a downtown avenue to Duval Street as spectators snapped “pupparazzi” photos and applauded their favorite pooches.
