KENT, Ohio (WJW) – It's an annual celebration that has really gone to the dogs; the Northeast Ohio Dachshund Picnic returned Saturday with more than 300 dogs in attendance.

This annual gathering of dachshunds started as a small gathering of friends in a backyard nearly 30 years ago. It has now grown into one of the largest dachshund events in Ohio, with about 550 people and 350 dogs in attendance.
This year's annual picnic collected bags of dry dog food to donate to the Portage County dog warden, it also raises awareness for dachshund rescue, with several organizations giving out information.
At the event, there were vendors selling dachshund items for people and pets alike. There were also food trucks, raffle prizes and the main attraction, the very popular costume contest.
