    About this audiobook

    Living with three strong-willed, highly individual Dachshunds can be equal parts entertaining, frustrating and rewarding. Just ask Matt Ziselman.

    Armed with a fresh, creative voice that is unabashedly cranky one moment and profoundly poignant the next, Ziselman mixes hilarious canine stories, with heartfelt reminiscences from his own life, the results of which is a memoir of illuminating life lessons, courtesy of the three thoroughly Teutonic Dachshunds that he shares his life (and couch) with: Baxter, Maya and Molly. Seemingly mundane moments, like Baxter's incessant, neuroses inducing staring, Maya's inexplicable refusal to walk through the front door and Molly's obsessive compulsive love for a torn and tattered blanket become, through Ziselman's insightful eyes, a treasure trove of observations that any dog-lover will appreciate. In a market where Americans spend more than $40 billion a year on their pets, this work of razor-sharp wit and quiet tenderness will reach out and grab listeners everywhere by the heartstrings and-quite possibly-their leashes.

    HOUNDED wraps universal insights in hot-dog-shaped packages, providing true dog lovers with many knowing nods, honest belly laughs and an accurate, warts-and-all reflection of the fascination, wonder and love that they have for their dogs.

    And that Matt Ziselman obviously has for his.

      Ziselman gives the reader lessons he has learned in life, but with a fresh twist, presents them as lessons he has learned from his dogs. Unfortunately, some of the lessons are a little off-base and will have the reader scratching their heads at the conclusion he reaches or the way he gets their. Further, by the title and description, one would expect it to center on life with the dogs, but this is not the case. Dog-centered anecdotes are included, but more of the book focuses on the man who owns them. It is a good book, just not as good as expected.
    • 4/5
      Dachshunds, Wiener dogs, Doxies or whatever you call them care cute and lovable. Ziselman uses the lives of these dogs as a mirror to gain insight into his life. This is biographical work that hopes to become more. While it is no Johnathan Livingston Seagull it is worth reading just for the dog stories.
    • 5/5
      Many of the stories that Matt Ziselman tells of Baxter, Molly and Maya are perfect examples of the activities of my own beautiful, loving doxie. I laughed and cried at their antics and Matt's story of his own struggles. I'm so glad that I bought this book!
