Sausage dogs named Daphne, Oakley Dokily, and Crusoe compete in six different events in the ‘Wienerlympics,’ to see who can win the most gold medals. On August 15, the humorous 15-minute movie was published to the video-sharing platform, where it has been viewed over four million times.
The dogs get things started with a three-meter doggie paddle, dressed in adorable and colorful swimming suits and diving caps. Crusoe fails to even leap into the water, with a voiceover saying he found the water ‘too cold.’ Oakley Dokily wins gold and Daphne takes silver, but Crusoe fails to even jump into the water, with a voice-over saying he found the water ‘too cold.’
The 500-gram weightlifting competition follows, with the dogs having to lift their sponge on a stick to pass. Two of the dogs can easily lift their weight, whereas Oakley Dokily only manages to do so after several efforts. Daphne, the blonde long-haired puppy, wins gold in fencing and wrestling, while Crusoe wins the long jump and Oakley Dokily takes gold in the 10-meter high dive.
The Olympic Games for Dachshunds culminate with the traditional 100-meter dash, with Daphne crossing the finish line first, increasing her total gold medals to three. Each sporting event concludes with a medal ceremony, with the four-legged Olympians seated sweetly on a makeshift podium.
The audience is then treated to hilarious outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage of how some of the sports competitions were put together, from green screen to bribing the dogs with biscuits.
Crusoe the Dachshund’s movie, which was published on YouTube last month, had previously earned worldwide notoriety for its four-way Dachshund Dash footage.
