- Starring a spoiled dachshund searching for the dog in himself

A spoiled dachshund discovers his canine qualities after an overnight adventure.

Doxie Dadada hates it at Mrs. Plum Pie's house. Since her husband passed away, he has to eat at the table with her, is wheeled around in a baby carriage and sleeps in her bed. Imagine if his neighboring dogs, Mick and Mitch, saw him! The two labradors would make fun of him. One day, Doxie Dadada is fed up. He slips away at night. Mick and Mitch have just gone rat hunting, so they could use some help. But will the little dog dare to catch a rat.

Selected for the White Ravens 2025:
'This little stylish book is a delight to read aloud. First, you can revel in the funny details about the life of the posh Mrs. Plumcake and her devotion to the dog. Seppe
Van den Berghe’s black-and-yellow illustrations skilfully capture both the woman’s intense love and the little dog’s discomfort. Once Little Teckel goes on an adventure, things get exciting, and even a little gruesome, but the tension is bearable because the little dog finally gets to play the heroic role he has longed for. Moreover, not only does he become braver, but the neatly groomed dachshund also becomes increasingly dirty, which adds another funny touch.'
