Updated | By Lifestyle Reporter
Thirteen teams took part in this fun event to celebrate the end of Summer in the European country.

When we say, ‘best friend’, we mean of the furry variety.

The main attraction was the six-legged race, where owners and puppy pals went for a run together. This is slightly different to the three-legged race we remember from school, but it looked just as fun.

What else happens at the event? Well, there is an ice-cream eating competition for the doggies (animal-friendly ice-cream, of course), as well as swimming races. We feel all kinds of FOMO right now.
