Pretzel

Written by Margret Rey

Five tiny dachshund puppies are born one bright May morning, each one short, wiggly, and full of personality. But as they grow, one pup becomes longer…and longer…and longer than all the rest! His name is Pretzel, and soon he’s winning blue ribbons at dog shows and impressing everyone he meets—everyone except Greta, the little dachshund who lives across the street. Greta doesn’t care how long Pretzel is. She just isn’t interested.

Pretzel tries everything to win her friendship, but nothing works—until the day Greta needs help. That’s when Pretzel discovers that being different can be a real gift. With his extra‑long body and extra‑big heart, he comes to the rescue, and Greta finally sees just how special he is. Before long, the two become a family of their own, with a brand‑new litter of puppies to love.
