Fast legs were not the only focus as 150 corgis gathered for an international event celebrating the breed. Beyond the track, festivities featured a costume parade, a scent challenge, and a competition for the loudest bark.
The fifth Corgi Race Vilnius brought dogs and owners to Vingis park in Lithuania's capital on Saturday for its largest event yet. Competitors arrived from Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Estonia, Germany, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, the United States, and Britain—the nation most tied to the breed as favored by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
