Woof, dear fans! Your favorite dachshund, Alma, has something very special for you today. Did you know that we dachshunds not only shine in everyday life, but also in the world of stars, films, and books? Yes, yes, we're everywhere—from Hollywood to literature. Here I'd like to introduce you to a few of my famous colleagues who have helped us dachshunds achieve fame and glory.
1. Lumpi – The Dachshund by Loriot
Let's start in Germany: The brilliant comedian Loriot loved dachshunds – just like me. The dachshund Lumpi played a leading role in many of his sketches. Who could ever forget the image of Loriot comfortably sitting on the sofa with a dachshund? Lumpi was more than a pet: He was a symbol of humor, serenity, and the typically German love of dachshunds.
2. Waldi – The first mascot of the Olympic Games
Yes, you read that right: We dachshunds even made it to the Olympic Games! Waldi was the mascot of the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. His bright colors and cheerful disposition reflected the Olympic values—and, of course, the unwavering friendliness of a dachshund.
3. Slinky – The Dachshund from Toy Story
One of my favorite dachshund companions is Slinky from the Toy Story movies. With his stretchy body and loyal nature, he always helped his friends—just like a dachshund would. I mean, who could resist a dachshund with a coiled spring for a belly?
4. Dachshund Crusoe – The Social Media Star
Crusoe is a dachshund who has taken over the internet. With funny costumes, creative videos, and a big personality, Crusoe has millions of followers on social media. His motto? "Wuffle it!" If you haven't seen him yet, be sure to check him out – Crusoe is a star who shows how glamorous life as a dachshund can be.
5. Lump – Picasso's Muse
The famous painter Pablo Picasso had a dachshund named Lump, who was not only his companion but also a muse. Lump appears in many of Picasso's works and held a special place in his heart. Honestly, who could resist a dachshund inspiring an artist?
6. Bodo – The hero of “The Dachshund in the Hallway”
Of course, dachshunds are also represented in literature. A classic is Eugen Roth's novel "The Dachshund in the Hallway." The charming dachshund Bodo humorously demonstrates how a small four-legged friend can turn his owner's life upside down.
7. Oscar – companion of Andy Warhol
The famous pop artist Andy Warhol loved dachshunds. Oscar was one of his loyal companions and lived a truly artistic life in Warhol's studio. As a creative dachshund, Oscar was always in the thick of things—a life only a dachshund could lead.
Why are dachshunds so often famous?
It's simple: We dachshunds have personality! Our clever eyes, our stubborn character, and our loyal soul make us perfect stars. Whether we appear in films, books, or in real life, we captivate everyone.
So, dear people, the next time you see a dachshund, remember: You might be sitting across from a celebrity. And who knows—maybe one day I, Alma, will be on the big screen too. Until then, stay true to me and always remember: A life without a dachshund is possible, but pointless.
