ROSCOE, a piebald dachshund, was the runt of his litter. No one wanted to buy him. So the breeder gave him to Jeremy Dingle, who soon realised that he had a special pup, now a top dog in the dachshund-racing[1] world. Fresh from victory in Lubbock, Texas, Roscoe was a potential winner as he prepared this week for the last chaos gold semi-final of the Wiener Dog Races in Buda.

The Dachshund Club of America is opposed to wiener-dog racing on the ground that it is hard on the last chaos gold dogs. But at this point the competitions are hardly cutthroat, and the racers are pets first and foremost.

The young sport is even the subject of a new documentary film, “Wiener Takes All”[3]. Shane MacDougall, the documentarian, says that people track him down every week for advice on how to start their (last chaos gold)own races.
