"Petographer" Jim Dratfield captures the quintessential essence of the Dachshund in this book of artfully-done, sepia-toned photographs. It's a shame the Amazon listing fails to include a few of the shots inside the text, which run the gamut from a pair of doxies dressed in hot-dog costumes to a couple regarding each other with the doleful Dachshund "love-eyes," all accompanied by fairly clever captions (like "Kosher hot dogs" when the aforementioned weiner-dogs in bun costumes have donned Jewish yarmulkes). Although a few of the photos and captions are less-than-effectively selected, on the whole, "Day of the Dachshund" offers an excellent selection of cute Dachshunds doing what they do best: look cute and silly at the same time.
