Beenie Von Weenie is proof that “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” After years of trying, the dachshund finally was declared The Fastest Wienie of the West! at the 26th Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals at California’s Los Alamitos Race Course. Beenie’s owner, Nicolee Leonard, gleefully told KABC-TV, “Fantastic! I’ve been coming every year. And he nailed it. He won a doghouse and $1,000 and the title.”
