Wonderful story!

This is a wonderful coming-of-age story that happens to be about dogs. Its introduction describes it as "a little gem," which I cannot improve upon. Ms. Stern paints a vivid picture of how it feels to be "different" when you don't understand why you're different.This book has the rare quality of being accessible to both children and adults, with something different to offer each age. It is perfect for reading to, or together with, a child.

Every dachshund lover should buy this book!

This classic book is absolutely adorable. Every dachshund lover should have one. The author knows dachshund personality very well. She also gets inside a dog's head very well. The book is very amusing and charming.

This is not the Disney version. It's great for adults!

This book was first published in the Forties, or late Thirties, it is told from a Griffan's point of view, and all the dachshund's and their owners' personalities are a bit eccentric. The Great Dane dog is coming of age, and the climax of the book is his "doing the wild thing" with a Dane bitch. It is a wonderful book for adults, and young adults, not at all too sweet. The allegory is about the coming of war in Europe, but the story is truly timeless. Every dog lover should have a copy in their library, and everybody did have a copy when it first came out, it was a blow away best-seller.
