數百隻臘腸犬和它們的主人聚集在匈牙利布達佩斯城市公園，試圖打破該國最大規模單一品種狗散步記錄。小狗遊行受到了匈牙利記錄協會的密切關注。該協會的註冊官兼主席伊什特萬·塞貝斯蒂安 (István Sebestyén) 表示，該組織將仔細統計參賽犬的數量。

臘腸犬是一種體型矮小、肌肉發達、腿粗短的犬種，最早在德國培育，至今仍是匈牙利最受歡迎的犬種之一。它們最初是為了獵捕獾和其他穴居動物而飼養的。 1972年在德國慕尼黑，一隻名叫瓦爾迪的彩虹色臘腸犬成為夏季奧運史上第一個官方吉祥物。

週四，莉莉霍瓦特 (Lili Horváth) 和她一歲的臘腸犬扎博斯 (Zabos) 參加了在布達佩斯舉行的步行活動。她說，她的毛茸茸的朋友「具有非常深厚的人性，而且非常忠誠，他真的是一顆愛情炸彈。」此次尋跡步行活動結束時，匈牙利記錄協會確定共有 500 只臘腸犬參加。

Hundreds of dachshunds and their owners gathered at Budapest City Park in Hungary to attempt to break the country's record for the largest single-breed dog walk. The parade of pups was under the observation of the Hungarian Records Association. István Sebestyén, registrar and president of the association, said his organization would carefully tally the number of participating dogs.

Dachshunds, a short, muscular breed with stubby legs, were first bred in Germany, and remain one of Hungary’s most popular dog breeds. They were initially bred for hunting badgers and other burrowing creatures. In Munich, Germany in 1972, a rainbow-colored dachshund named Waldi became the first official mascot in the history of the Olympic Summer Games.

On Thursday, Lili Horváth and her 1-year-old dachshund Zabos participated in the walk in Budapest. She said her furry friend “has very deeply human qualities and is very loyal, he’s really a love bomb.” By the end of the record-seeking walk, the Hungarian Records Association determined that 500 dachshunds had been present.
