Dachshunds, those long dogs with stubby bodies, think they're much bigger than they are. Ask anyone who has one. They are also fearless and loyal.
Read some of these classic and true stories about Dachshunds that are deaf and blind (and some have only three legs), and read some of the great things they've done.
They've saved families, they've warned of disasters and more.
