He joked that the most pleasant to his eyes would be the view of hundred of dachshunds welcoming him back to Krakow.
The word was spread, and suprised writer saw on the market square a parade of not a hundred but almost a thousand of wiener dogs walked by his fans. The owners of the dogs make friends to each other and promised to meet once again on
promenade walk. And that was the beginning. This year fourtheen Marsz Jamników ( Parade of Dachshunds ) took place in Kraków at the beginning of September, this year sponsored by Radio Kraków with several competitions: for the best dachshund's dress, the best dogs portrait, and the best dog's short story.
