Wiener dog races: The DOGumentary
The award-winning documentary Wiener Takes All will be shown at 2:30 p.m. Sunday (6/14) at San Pedro's Warner Grand Theatre, 478 W. Sixth St.
The Canadian-made movie, which has won numerous film festival awards, looks at the wacky world of dachshund racing.
Come early, at 2 p.m., and you can see some of the "stars" strutting their stuff on the
theater's red carpet.
Tickets are $10 each ($7 for senior citizens and students).
Or buy tickets beforehand in person by showing up tomorrow at San Pedro's outdoor Farmers Market (9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday). Volunteers from Pedro Pet Pals -- a group that supports the Harbor Animal Care, the L.A. city-run animal shelter in San Pedro -- will be out there selling tickets. Wearing funky wiener dog hats, I'm told, so you can't really miss them. The weekly market is set up in the street along the 400 block of West Sixth Street.
Part of the movie ticket proceeds will go to Pedro Pet Pals.
Online tickets can be purchased also through the Warner Grand Theatre.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.

I've seen a preview of "Wiener Takes All". It is a real hoot. And I thought that NASCAR racing was fiercely competitive! It should be a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon with the family.
