Synopsis:
Buddy the dachshund lives in a not-so-mythical place called Florida- a place where the sun always shines and everyone is always happy. Buddy, being a typical dachshund is a determined, funny, happy little guy who loves to explore. Every day brings a chance to meet new, exotic friends and see wonderful new places.
Today Buddy has decided that he is bored and wants to explore his neighborhood, but to communicate those needs with his human parents is not always easy. See how he works to get his point across and watch his joy as he starts his adventure.
"Short Tales" is a delightful way to teach your children the respect for animals big and small, and give them insight into the mind of our furry friends of the animal kingdom. They will learn that every day can be the start of a new friendship, and a new adventure.
"When you get a dog, it becomes a piece of your own heart," explains Colarusso. "We were blessed to have Buddy in our lives for thirteen years, and he taught us more about love and respect than any human ever could. This series is intended to pass those vital life lessons along to children, while giving them an opportunity to step into the mind of an overly-energetic dog who will stop at nothing to just have fun."
Continuing, "Every meeting can be the start of a new friendship and every day can be an adventure. These are two lessons Buddy left me with - and something humans can learn from! This series embodies those values…so grab that leash, because Buddy is chomping at the bone to get started!"
