His only consolation is an occasional mystic vision of the almight Great Dog, who appears to him sometimes in polished parquet or ponds and, once, in a mirror. He feels himself an outcast, a pariah, too inept even to squeeze through the fence like the others. Tono, assuming himself a dachshund, grieves bitterly that the Legs feed him raw meat instead of the cooked delicacies the others enjoy, and never pick him up or cuddle him or call him sweet. For those who enjoy a good moral, it's possible to read The Ugly Dachshund as a fable. Written in 1938, it was reprinted in 1998, saving this Gem from disappearing. Stern, a noted Jane Austin scholar, was one of those books that had all but disappeared during the dark days of World War II. All Orders Shipped With Tracking And Delivery Confirmation Numbers.
