Paws For This Week’s Animal Facts: Dachshund Edition

Did you know Dachshunds are affectionately known as "Doxies?" Well, I didn't either. I always thought the long-bodied, short-legged, sphere-shaped pups were called Weiner dogs, and that was it. 

If this little-known fact intrigued you (or you are craving more fun facts from last week's segment), keep reading because here is a fun and interesting compilation of more "Doxie" facts that you probably didn't know. Not to mention, the pictures are just so darn cute to look at. I mean how could you pass up the opportunity to see one of these lil guys in a hot dog bun?!?! Enjoy, weiner lovers!
