...Ugly Dachshund is actually a Great Dane pup named Brutus. Hubby Dean Jones surreptitiously plants Brutus in a litter of "dachsies" belonging to Wife Suzanne Pleshette, who refers to herself and the little darlings as "I and the girls." Any other movie would proceed at once to the indicated psychoanalysis, but Walt Disney prefers to describe how Brutus devastates the household and resolves his identity crisis by winning Best of Breed in the dog show. Such comedies as this one are too wholesome for kids, too foolish for dog fanciers, and a sure way to persuade young adults that movies...
...Florida Supreme Court ruled that a price may be put on human anguish over a dog's death. In West Hollywood, a privately employed garbage man laughingly hurled an empty can at Phyllis La Forte's pet dachshund, Heidi. When the blow killed the dog, Plaintiff La Forte's "marked hysteria" won her a $3,000 jury verdict against the garbage company. An appellate court reversed the verdict, hewing to the general rule that a dog owner may collect only his pet's market value. The state Supreme Court disagreed and set a new precedent...
...with Britian's Harold Macmillan and the U.S.'s Robert Murphy, Couve at war's end was made Ambassador to Rome. He subsequently held the same post in Egypt, NATO and the U.S., where Jacqueline Couve de Murville was admired for her elegance, and the family dachshund, Xenophon, became something of a local celebrity.

It is also one of the lowest: less than 5 ft. high, it has the low-slung lines of a dachshund. Boasting all the latest engineering innovations (disk brakes, adjustable pneumatic suspension system, fuel-injection 300-h.p. engine), the 600 seats eight, including two on rear-facing armchairs, and sells in the U.S. at $23,000. For the economy-minded, there is an 18-ft., six-passenger model...
While her dachshund sank his painted scarlet toenails into the damask couch, the elegant woman known simply as Countess crossed her legs and yawned. A journalist stood for an instant's breath of air, sat back down on two lady buyers who were clawing for her chair. Actress Jeanne Moreau blinked drowsy eyes and flicked waves of ashes to the rug. Vicomtesse Jacqueline de Ribes swung black-mesh-stockinged legs, started a fad, and smiled her best-dressed approval. Outside, snow fell softly on the streets of Paris, and there were some who talked of De Gaulle...
