Product Description
The longest dachshund in the world, Pretzel is admired by all and the winner of a blue ribbon at the dog show. Only Greta, the little dachshund across the street, doesn't care for long dogs. At least not until she gets into a jam out of which only a long dog can help her. This classic story of puppy love will win the hearts of both old and new Pretzel fans.

5 out of 5 stars Great Little Book   August 14, 2008
We have our own little miniature dachshund named Pretzel, so we couldn't resist ordering this book. What a delightful little story that's sure to warm hearts in both children and adults! A "must have" for any dachshund owner!


5 out of 5 stars More Power to the Dachshund!!   March 16, 2008
I bought this book because I had enjoyed the "Curious George" books that were written by the original authors. I was NOT disappointed! In fact, I enjoyed this book much more than any of the "Curious George" books I have ever read. An unusual dachshund overcomes adversity to win the love of his favorite lady dachshund. Like many of the previous reviewers, I, too, am owned by a dachshund. My dachshund is the best "inheritance" I've ever received.

Pretzel is so cute.He is so big and cute. He had four other siblings. Pretzel started getting wider and wider. He was the tallest dachund ever. Pretzel one his first award at a dog show. All the dogs and the people admired him. Only one dog didn't Greta. Greta didn't like long dogs. Pretzel was a hero after he rescued Greta. See Greta got stuck in a hole. Thanks to his long body he was a hero. Greta and Pretzel got married!


5 out of 5 stars Short Story About a Long Dog   December 2, 2005
  1 out of 3 found this review helpful

I far preferred Pretzel to Curious George because I've always been partial to dogs, especially hounds. I actually knew a little black dachshund named Gretchen and several brown ones named Gretel, so I had to smile at jealous Greta who had a prejudice toward long dogs and rebuffed Pretzel until Pretzel bailed her out of a jam. Greta was also jealous of Pretzel's blue ribbon, which she won in a dog show. Pretzel demonstrates class and character to help one who had never been nice to her.

This was one of my favorite books as a kid and we always had dachshunds so I bought a replacement for my kids. It's a very cute story!
