An estimated 80 people and 60 dogs celebrated World Dachshund Day Sunday at Lynnwood’s Lynndale Park Amphitheater.
Organizers said June 22 was chosen because it’s “the shortest day in the southern hemisphere and the longest day in the northern” — a good time to celebrate short-long dogs.
Activities included a walk, a photo op and a bring-your-own picnic.
You can watch a video of the event here.
Great event! When the dog walk came by, it was the first time I’ve used the phrase “a herd of dachshunds.”
So sweet! and great photos Sam!
A lot of fun– we watched, petted ‘long’, and dodged leashes for 2 hours!
