Confessions of a Dachshund: Otto's Hilarious Tale of Freedom and Frustration

It’s a dog’s life… I always thought that phrase was much too popular because most dogs live the life of Riley these days.  Likewise, “I’ve been working like a dog” has long since lost any impact it might once have had.   So, when Otto the Dachshund popped his weary little head and doleful eyes on my feed, I was a little wary about what he might have to say about the challenges his life presents…  and I was right.  Yet this pampered pooch learns a lesson or two in his confessions and he does it in such a droll manner that he won me over (almost) immediately. 

This highly amusing tale tells the story of how Otto has his day (like every dog should)  – and manages to escape the clutches of both his needy human and his canine companion Kasper, to finally taste a little freedom.  What he does with it is up to you to find out, but the build up to the climax is something of a shaggy dog story, despite Otto being short-haired and rather regal looking.  Regardless, I would recommend that you sit back and watch Confessions of a Dachshund, which was written, filmed, and edited by Sparky Jones.  A special shout out to Tony Ingram who voices Otto with the kind of middle-aged angst that makes this narrative completely and utterly believable. Ahem.
