On Tuesday night, the Atlanta Gladiators minor league hockey team held their first wiener dog race in between periods, and the results were predictably adorable!
An impressive 7,446 lucky fans watched the event. Three dozen Dachshunds ran in 3 different heats before the ultimate winner (wiener?) was declared.
Ruff night on the ice for the Gladiators but not for our furry (and long) friends as our first ever Wiener Dog Race in front of over 7,446 fans tonight was a great success! pic.twitter.com/pKu4ckfgFh

Watch the race below!
While the Atlanta Gladiators are the most recent hockey team to offer wiener dog races, they aren’t the first team to do so. You can catch more clips over on Mashable.
The winner of this particular race was Weagle, whose proud mom is Katie Ford. Way to go Weagle!
Congrats to Weagle and owner Katie Ford for taking home the first every Gladiators Wiener Dog Race! pic.twitter.com/KPpV9qrKPz
