This dog was by far the best dog I've ever owned. We had to put him down last summer as a result of a slipped disc (common with Dachshunds). He never bit, let alone growled, at either of our boys, and they've tried to take rides on his back and have grabbed his jowls and pulled them back and forth. He was a very calm and loving puppy. It's been a year now and my 4 year old son, when crying about this or that, will still cry that he "wants Odie," which breaks my wife and I's hearts. We love and miss you buddy!

As an adult:
Odie did sire one puppy, a male, so I like to think that he still lives on through him. Here's his son at around 5 or 6 weeks of age:
