"I am Sarge the super dog, named after my Papa Duke, who was a sergeant in the Army-and I am very proud of my special name. I was a scared little puppy when Mama and Daddy adopted me at eight weeks of age, but quite a handsome and intelligent dachshund now." I'm known as a chow hound extraordinaire, and believe me, I have earned the title! Papa calls me his granddawg, and I know I'll do great and mighty things someday. Grandma says I'm not only a granddawg, but also a grand dog.Daddy and mama love me, and inside my home is all the warmth, fun, laughter, and love that I could ever want or need. The only thing lacking is people food. I never get enough of that, but don't blame a dawg for trying. I also do my best to protect them, but Mama says I'm too loud. (Isn't that the point of barking-to be heard )Papa thinks like I do, a remarkable ability for a human. So does his buddy, Sellars-both of them are chow hounds like me, and they sometimes sneak me some good food when no one is looking. That makes me feel loved.I have lived through some zany times in this family--I even saved Papa's life when he was attacked . . . by a fence. Such experiences only seem to happen to Papa. All in all, my humans are tricky to figure out, 'cause they don't always say what they mean-but I can handle them. After all, I AM SARGE.A heartwarming tale of family, joy, good food, and unconditional love, Sarge's story will bring warmth and smiles to readers of all ages.
