December 20, 2025

COSY knits, sparkly bobbles and Santa hats were all the canine rage Sunday as hundreds of sausage dogs and their owners converged on central London for an annual parade and get-together.

The dachshunds' gathering in London's Hyde Park came after a previous "Sausage Walk" planned for Halloween had to be postponed because it had become so popular organisers needed to apply for an events licence.

"It was going to be too much fun so they cancelled it," laughed Nicky Bailey, the owner of three sausage dogs: Una and her two 19-week-old puppies Ember and Finnegan, wearing matching red coats and silver tinsel.

One thing everyone present had in common: a cast-iron belief that dachshunds are the ultimate pet.
