Two years ago we found a somewhat thin but well-cared-for Dachshund on our country road. After days of trying to find his home we decided to keep him ourselves. He and I had immediately bonded. His name is Wiener Dog, occasionally known as Sausage, and his favorite spot is sprawled out next to me on the couch. His greatest distress is getting his feet wet in the dewy grass.
