(KEYT) A dog-themed festival called "Short Dawgs in Da House" brought dog lovers to Ventura Harbor Village. All dogs were welcome to the free event that featured more than 15 local vendors. It was a day for dogs. Dog lovers watched the small pets races on the main lawn. Rowdy Dachshund, the viral skateboarding sensation, hosted the event along with his two-legged friends Kim Estrada and Ivan Cano. One popular moment was when a human dressed up like a wiener dog raced Rowdy the Weiner Dog and won. Estrada and Cano hope to bring the event back to harbor again next year.
