Mixed-Up Max: Air Dachshund.

They’re on a flight to Zanzibar.

Has anyone out there ever read the book Mixed-Up Max by Rasa Gustaitis? It’s about two dachshunds named Max and Malcolm who decide to have a bit of adventure and switch places. Malcolm stays home with Mr. Bungle, Max’s owner, to relax and Max goes with Malcolm’s owner, a diplomat, on a trip to Tunisia. By the time he arrives, the whole world has found out about the dachshunds and their mix-up caper. Lots of newspapers and cameramen are there to greet Max and film him getting off the plane. He’s famous. Eventually, he is reunited with Mr. Bungle and everyone is happy.

Anyhow, this is my little homage to Max and Malcolm. It’s out of print now (originally published in the late 60s), but if you can ever find a copy, it’s well worth it.
