Synopsis
What breed is sillier than the dachshund? None. With their low, elongated bodies, souldful eyes, and truly ridiculous proportions, dachshunds always look like they're telling a joke. Their owners get the joke, so they do things like organize everything from the annual Dachshund Parade in New York's Washington Square Park to the Weenie Run in Memphis, where hundreds of Dachshunds show up to rejoice in their dachshundood. Day of the Dachshund is for this crowd. In a gift-friendly little hardcover format-a bit more horizontal than unusal, for obvious reasons, Jim Dratfield combines 60 great photographs with delightfully clever quips to celebrate the endless charm of this unlikely breed.

From Publishers Weekly
With their squat legs and sausage-shaped bodies, it’s no wonder dachshunds have long been referred to as "weenies" and "hot dogs." Photographer Dratfield (Pug Shots, etc.) takes advantage of these ignominious nicknames, shooting a portrait of a dachshund standing regally in front of a hot dog-shaped concession stand and another in which two affronted-looking dachshunds are ensconced in bun-shaped casings (these same two dogs don hats for a second photo titled "kosher hot dog"). Fortunately, not all of Dratfield’s 60 duotone photos play upon this hot dog theme. He includes the requisite shot of a glassy-eyed puppy wedged into a small container ("a pup o’ tea"), a playful photo of a dachshund peeking out of a long "mail dox" and an irreverent picture of a dachshund licking the naked buttock of a classical statue ("tongue ’n cheek"). At times, the book tries too hard for humor—as is evidenced by a heavily cropped photo of a dachshund lounging on a dock ("sittin’ on the dox of the bay")—but the photos succeed in highlighting the quirkiness and charm of this singular breed.
