Mission Mission

Whether you’re a hipster or a bro, a vegan or a carnivore, one thing we all can agree on is that wiener dogs are effin’ awesome!

If you happened to be at Golden Gate Fields on Saturday, you witnessed quite possibly the cutest racing in history, The Northern California Wiener National Series. Yes, this is a real thing. It’s a dachshund racing championship sponsored by Wienerschnitzel, where local wiener dogs compete for cash prizes and of course, bragging rights.

The wiener…ahem, cough, I mean, winner (sorry guys, I had to do it) was a sprightly pup from Fremont named Jessey. Man oh man was that dog fast!

The next race is in November, but a representative for the event said that they need to find a location and fast. Methinks our own beloved Dolores Park would make a perfect racetrack for the little guys. Anyone out there willing to help make it go down?

If you can’t get enough wiener dogs, you can see more little friends here.

I’m serious, berlin’ is one of the better reads on the internet. This week, they puzzle over how a dog in their neighborhood manages to mount its poop up on walls all along their block. WTF! Link.

He looks well-mannered.

This poor cat looks like it is about to be molested.

Corinna, everybody’s favorite Greek Mission resident, is currently spending a month in Europe, where she has already had to bear witness to the most disturbing trend in European animal cruelty.  We all hope she’s okay.

Unfortunately I was slow on the camera draw, but that does not detract from the fact that there was a dude pushing a big stuffed llama on a skateboard down Capp St.

Lucy disappeared from Dolores Park the other day. Witnesses report details that indicate the possibility of some kind of dognapping ring.

Speaking of fruit, this Mission Street bull is bananas.

Snakes are probably more sanitary than their burritos.
