This is a throwback to when El Diablo raced at the 20th Annual Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals on July 18, 2015.  Brewski Bros Racing’s team videographer Mike Williams shot the video of the racing demon El Diablo.

 

Below is El Diablo’s audition story that earned him the right to compete.

The Story of El Diablo

Cerberus in Greek and Roman mythology is the guardian of the gates of Hades.  He is a three headed dog with the tail of a serpent and the claws of a lion.  It is this gigantic hound which guards the gates to Hell to prevent ghosts of the dead from leaving the underworld.  The Cerberus is one of the great Greek monsters and it is believed that it is from this great monster that El Diablo was born into the world.

The legend goes that this hell hound sired only one living son and that son was the magnificent El Diablo.  Sadly, Cerberus was angered that his only son to survive birth was the runt and as such El Diablo was cast out of Hades in shame to wander the Earth.  In his time spent on Earth El Diablo learned to appreciate the small things in life but still was unable to shake the humiliation of being cast out of his home in Hell.  While he may have been a runt he was strong willed and determined to win his place back at his father’s side at the gates of Hell.  It was this relentless desire that pushed him to work on his ability to strike fear into the hearts of humans with his ferocious growl, swift speed and booming bark.  He also discovered that he could control any mortal that looked into the deep inky pools of his eyes and no human could fight his lightning fast Cobra strike kiss.

It is El Diablo’s wish that he be allowed to compete in the 20^th Annual Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals so that he may attain the glory that has hid from him for so long and so that he may have his chance to return to Hades and be welcomed into his father’s claws as a champion.

Last summer LandShark and myself, El Diablo were approached to appear in the sequel to 2013’s Wiener Dog Nationals movie.  The sequel which will premiere in Los Angeles at the Grove on March 26, 2015 is titled The Wiener Dog Internationals and continues to follow the story of Shelly a rescue Dachshund and her racing adventures with her adoptive family.  Since we had so much fun filming the first movie we jumped at the chance to play barking scenery in the sequel.

I always knew I would be a star outside of my own mind and it was about time the world started to notice!  We were cast as the racing delegates from Egypt and Kenya and had costumes to represent our countries.  And I must say Kenya has never looked so bad ass thanks to me.  LandShark really lucked out because he looks just like Mila Miesner the main star dog and so he got to play one of her back ups as the lead dog Shelly.  Not because he’s talented but because he’s smaller and lighter and the kid actor could hold him easily (lucky dog).

We’re really excited to see the finished product this March, the trailer was released a couple months ago and we both made it into the race scenes and LandShark made it into a scene as Shelly so he’s super stoked.  Below are some photos from the set and the photo shoot we did in our international costumes.
