Nothing pulls on our heartstrings like a dog with three legs or in a wheelchair. The mixture of sympathy and cuteness makes the perfect cocktail of feel good vibes for the middle of the week. So now imagine a fundraiser where dogs of all abilities get to participate in a race to help fund a Dachschund rescue center! Cutie pies galore!

We know Dachschunds are cute, and definitely playful (click here to see a Dachshund playing entertainingly with a crab on a beach), and now we know they're ready to enter the Para-Olympics! The only Olympic sport we could compete in is napping, but these hot diggity dogs are inspiring us. We support dogs of all shapes, sizes, and abilities here at Animal Comedy. Especially ones shaped like little hot dogs! Better watch out, Usain Bolt, a hot diggity dog is coming for your title.

Who let this normal dog compete in the race? We want a re-do! In the end, we're all winners, because we got to see these wheelchair dogs run to their hearts' content in the race. It's so cute we teared up a little. Okay, maybe a lot.

Go little guy, go! You can do it! Everyone cheering him on must have been so encouraging. Disabled dogs don't get adopted often because they have a lot of problems, so to feel all that love must have been amazing for him. We wish we could have been there <3.
