4. It turns out that Longfellow in the photo is 3-legged

Little guy gamely gave it his all. Here's an article from last year:

Longfellow is a wiener dog unlike many others.

He's a pet rescue, meaning his adoption by a loving family spared him from potential euthanasia.

Later, he survived a Tybee Island car accident. But had to have his left rear leg amputated.

On Saturday, the tiny purebred is defying odds again and running in the Savannah Wiener Dawg Races during Oktoberfest on River Street.

5. Awww!!

I have one, my grandparents have 3, and my mom has one.

Mom's is the first, Heidi, who had two pups:



One of her pups, Duncan, went to my grandparents:



They then got another for my grandfather's birthday, Bonnie:



Bonnie and Duncan had puppies. I have one, Sadie:



They kept one, Charlie:



And my great aunt even kept one. The other three were adopted by family friends.

Heidi was the original and ruined the whole family. The rest is history!
