Absolutely true. In Germany we have a law that requires sled dogs to look like sausages. Unfortunately, the dachshund are not really suited for the mountains. That's why in 2009 Sebastian Schnuelle won the Yukon Quest, but only came second in Iditarod behind Lance Mackey.
In Germany it’s all about the sausage. There are many excellent sausage related aphorisms including the devastating ‘You are sausage to me’ and ‘Everything has an end. Except a sausage. Which has two ends’.
Maybe you need to get one of these for Pollox so that he can become the first German sled dog to run vertically up a mountain!
This is a good excuse to repost the Johnny Carson interview with John Suter, who finished Iditarod 4 years in a row racing a team of standard poodles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDuB...
