Redstripe And Other Dachshund Tales by retired educator Jack Magestro is a humorous and merry collection of five short stories about the exploits of dachshunds - a beloved breed of pet also colloquially known as "weiner dogs." Jack Magestro is a proud dachshund owner, and Redstripe And Other Dachshund Tales is a delightful and witty treat sure to resonate with people everywhere who have their own canine companions as part of "the family".
A true love story November 21, 2003

This book is a real love story about the pure affection and enthusiasm that dogs, particularly our "hotdogs" (I have two), generate. And, it does so with humor and optimism in the spirit of Herriot. I particularly liked the Christmas story which celebrated the unique gifts given to us by this breed, while humanizing-- but still respecting-- the manger scene. Good work, Jack!

If you ever owned a dachshund you will love the contents of this book. If you don't own one you will after reading about Bernard and Belle. Smile. The short stories are quite intriguing and really hold your attention. Once you start reading it, expect to not put it down until you have completed the whole contents. Redstripe, Bernard, and Belle are wonderful little creatures that happen to be dachshunds. Bernard and Belle by far were my most favorite little characters. Too bad most men aren't like Bernard...teehee. To find out what I mean about Bernard you must purchase the book and find out for yourself. I'm not telling. I found out about this book through TDN. I am glad I did.

This book is a must for any dachshund lover or dog lover. Jack captures the essence (and quirks) of the breed with his stories. I had the pleasure of "getting to know" Jack and Belle via the on-line dachshund email list a few years back and was thrilled to see his stories in print for everyone to enjoy.

I totally enjoyed "Redstripe and Other Dachshund Tales". In fact, I sat down one evening and read it from cover to cover and wished there was more. It was very entertaining and made me realize that my Heidi isn't as unique as I had thought. It was fun and lighthearted. I recommend it to anyone who owns a dachshund or is thinking about getting one. My one objection (the reason for 4 stars and not 5) is that I had hoped it would be as entertaining for my grandchildren, but I don't think it is necessarily a book for young children.
