The cute dog wears a bow and feathers on its head as it takes part in the annual parade with the help of a prosthesisWhile a parade of costumed-sausage dogs through a city centre is a spectacle in itself - one little participant stood out from the rest for his extra effort.
The handicapped dog, who appeared to have three legs, walked with a prosthesis in the form of a wheeled contraption through the streets of Krakow in Poland for the annual Dachshund Parade - determined to take part.
Owners dressed their little pets in a range of amusing outfits for the unique event which celebrates the Poland's love for the breed and is now its eighteenth year.

The theme of the event was 'Dachshund the traveller' which ensure plenty of bright and bizzare traditional outfits from across the world, as well as Poland.
Dachshunds from across the country joined in the with the parade from the city's Barbican to the market square, organised by Radio Krakow.

Two would-be astronauts and a hot dog were among the crowd favourites, but they were upstaged by a little four-legged Mexican who took the top prize in the fancy dress competition.
Another appeared to have a big grin across his face as he took his place in the parade with frilly ankle decorations and flower garland wrapped around its neck.
The event also acts as a way to promote dog health and safety, with local police on hand to offer advice on reporting cruelty.
