Famous Wiener Lovers

It seems only natural that powerful, decisive, creative people would be wiener lovers. If you think about it, there's not all that much difference between the personality and size of Napoleon and a wiener. In contrast, though, such macho tough guys as John Wayne, Erwin Rommel and General Omar Bradley were also known wiener lovers. Makes you think, doesn't it?

Following is a short list of famous wiener lovers from the various fields of art, theatre, politics and history. Veering from the strict game show tradition, none of the names has been double-sourced or verified, so read on at your own risk for your own amusement.

WIENER LOVERS OF THE WORLD--UNITE!

FUN FACT! Toto should have been a wiener!

This information comes to us from The Canadian Dachshund Lovers web page and the gist is verified by other sources: "The part of the pet dog of Dorothy (played by Judy Garland) in the "Wizard of Oz" was originally scripted for a miniature dachshund named Otto, owned by actress Margaret Hamilton who played the Wicked Witch of the West in the movie. Lingering post-war hostility toward the Germans, however, caused the studio to insist upon the substitution of a Norwich terrier to be called Toto, a dog of then more acceptable British descent."

The above is a direct quote from the previously cited page, but other sources say Toto was a Cairn Terrier, not a Norwich. Perhaps, someone heard the name Margaret Hamilton and their brain made them think the dog was a Nor-WITCH terrier.
