The Malta Records has announced a new national record, breaking the same record set just a year ago. This time, 94 Dachshunds, fondly known as sausage dogs, were brought together for a delightful and festive event, riding on two trains in a row.

The event was organised by Għaqda Talent Dingli as part of the popular Original Train Ride with Santa and the Elves Factory, held this Sunday. This family-friendly event has become increasingly popular, attracting dog lovers from across the island.

The sight of 94 Dachshunds and their proud owners on the trains brought smiles to the crowd, showing the growing sense of community among Dachshund enthusiasts in Malta.

This memorable event highlights the unique ways communities come together to create fun and inclusive activities that celebrate both pets and people.

Congratulations to the Dingli Talent Association for their continued success with this heartwarming and record-setting achievement.

Here's to even more paw-dorable records in the years to come!
