The photo shows eight duos of adorable weiner dogs, who are sitting on steps in all of their gracious glory, staring dreamily right into the camera. The names of the family pets are Saffie, Daisy, Dudley, Wallie, Diamond, Ruby, Benjie, Buster, Bonnie, Ziggy, Sammy, Kizzy, Kiki, Zac, Duke, and Lottie. The duos were placed on the steps by their owner and told to ‘stay’.

Liam, the owner of the adorable dogs told the media: “My friend Catherine challenged me to try to get all of my lot sit on the stairs for a photo. She said, “I bet you can’t pull it off,” so I thought “challenge accepted”. She also promised me a box of chocolates if I managed it. She set me that task on Friday morning and 10 minutes later, I had the dog photo. It took me eight minutes in total. I timed myself.”

The dog owner also posted the now-viral picture of his pets online and got many surprised reactions from people. One commented: “Wow, what a brilliant picture! How on earth did you manage it?” to which Liam replied that “just a squeaky ball works wonders.”

“It’s amazing the number of positive reactions I’ve had because sometimes people are judge-y about the number of dogs I have. But I haven’t had any negative reactions to the picture at all and I’m amazed by how many people love it. It is really lovely to see,” the 19-year-old told the media.
Liam is an animal management graduate who lives in Cardiff, Wales

The 19-year-old lives with his parents, 16 dachshunds, and a black Labrador named Jess. The oldest dachshund of the family is Sammy who is 8-years-old and was the first wiener-dog of the animal-loving family.

Later on, came the addition of Kizzy so Sammy would have a friend. After some time passed, the family also welcomed Bonnie and Ziggy – who are both 7-years-old now.

Liam told the media that their family always makes sure that each and every dog of theirs find the best home, but every ‘goodbye’ still hurts.

Well, luckily, people on Bored Panda are surely not the kind of people who would be judgemental about responsible dog breeders. As the popular and widely overused saying goes – “the more the merrier.”
"It's very entertaining living with all of them"

We sure can imagine the joy that 16 dachshunds and a Labrador can bring! Hopefully, this wasn’t the last time that Liam captured his lovely pooches because shots like this surely give us hope to live.
