The Ugly Dachshund (1966)

In the heart of the Garrison household, Fran finds herself in a flurry of excitement as her beloved Dachshund, Danke, is about to birth a litter of pups. She dreams of one of these puppies seizing the title of champion. Meanwhile, her husband, Mark, finds himself swayed at the vet's office into adopting Brutus, an orphaned Great Dane pup. Despite his towering size, Brutus is convinced he's no different from his Dachshund siblings, leading to a host of hilariously chaotic episodes that turn the once-peaceful Garrison home into a battlefield of domestic disasters. While Fran's aspirations lie in the petite paws of a future champion Dachshund, Mark sees potential in the oversized, clumsy Brutus, who is too colossal to be a lapdog yet insists on behaving like one. The conflict escalates as Fran's scorn for Brutus grows, pushing Mark to devise a plan. Aiming to demonstrate to all, especially Fran, that Brutus, despite being perceived as nothing more than an 'ugly dachshund', has the potential to be much more. In 'The Ugly Dachshund', prepare for a delightful romp through the Garrisons' tumultuous journey of canine comedy, where a Great Dane's identity crisis sparks a series of uproarious mishaps, testing loyalties, and challenging preconceptions.
