This sweet little Dachshund (aka “wiener dog”) is all tangled up in a bright red ribbon, perfect for the kids who keep asking for a puppy for Christmas. This won’t stop them from asking, but it is super-cute. Eee! I love his stubby little legs! And there’s a cute kitten version of this ornament, too, for the kids who want a kitty rather than a puppy.
