Meghan looked up dachshunds on Wikipedia today and found out some interesting things. This was one thing I didn't realize. In 1972, a dachshund was the first mascot for the Olympics. Here's the link.

Other than this, there is a lot of other info, so it makes for some interesting reading.
That is pretty interesting!!
I can't think of a better mascot. After all, doxies have it paws down for the looooong jump!
