Fastest Wiener in the West Gets Dog House in Long Beach

Stand down, neighbors. Buddy Black of Belmont Shore is in the house.

You may recall our hometown Dachshund won Fastest Wiener in the West at the recent 18th Annual Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals, and earned a cash prize. Now the second part of his winnings arrived. It's a special dog house that's a pint-sized model of a Wienerschnitzel restaurant. Buddy's hu-mom contacted Patch to tell us that Buddy's new crib arrived.

"We have it in the back for now," said Shawn Black. "We are a little afraid it may be taken if we put it in the front garden. Buddy is going to be racing come December in the Port of San Diego Holiday Bowl Parade, San Diego.  It will be his first time."
