Ananova:

Dogs are to get their own version of the famous Munich beer festival.

Dogs that are brought to the Bunter Hund cafe in the Austrian capital Vienna will be given special beer for canines, pretzels and traditional Bavarian veal sausage just like at the real Oktoberfest.

Cafe owner Manuela Knirsch, who is from Munich, said: "We will even be giving out free beer to dachshunds, Bavaria's favourite dog."

The dog Oktoberfest starts on September 20 - two days before the famous beer festival in Munich gets underway.
