Dachshund Tails Rescued and Other Tales

About the Book

Another dachshund tale about one rescued dachshund bent upon mischief as he travels, his rescued friends and their stories, and his new brother, also a rescued dachshund.

Schultz is the storyteller if one uses a smidgen of imagination. Everyday is a new adventure for Schultz, whether he's home on Vashon Island in Puget Sound in Washington state or sniffing the air while passing through new territory. Stubbornness, playfulness and a talent for mischief are part of his personality, the thread of his story. His tale is about his coming to Vashon Island, his new-found family and his pet primate, Marilyn. Schultz introduces some of his favorite rescued friends midway through the book. Each one tells a heart-warming story of a dachsie abandoned, deserted, lost, or caught in a mischievous moment or two. All of the stories are based on true incidents.
