Long Lessons: What I Thought I Knew about (Wiener) Dogs

"Small dogs aren't tough." That's just one of the misconceptions Jason Garrison used to have about dogs. He thought that a dog less than a foot tall was more of a rat or squirrel than a true dog. But once his wife said she wanted to adopt a small dog of her own, he would soon realize just how little he really knew about dogs, especially Dachshunds. Thus, the long lessons began. Along the way, Jason would discover that he was wrong about several things. For example, he assumed that all lap dogs were cuddly by nature, but one of his dogs had dinner guests running for the door. He thought that even Dachshunds were natural guard dogs-wrong again. And since dogs are naked all the time anyway, he certainly didn't think that they cared about clothes. But his alpha dog's interest in certain garments and accessories has him wondering if his male dog is a cross-dresser. Long Lessons is the hilarious and heartfelt memoir about a guy who didn't even believe small dogs qualified as true dogs, but eventually couldn't imagine life without his own three Dachshunds. Despite his erroneous and often silly prejudices, the three wiener dogs constantly prove him wrong in the most unexpected and comical ways, and ultimately teach him the true value of a beloved pet.

About the Author
Over the years Jason Garrison has been a high-school teacher, college professor, pastor, chaplain, and theologian. But before he was any of these, he was a storyteller. While he could talk for hours about fascinating topics like the influence of the Gilgamesh Epic and other ancient Near Eastern texts on the Hebrew Bible, he thinks you'd probably enjoy a few stories about his dogs much more...like the time one of them embarrassed a guest so badly, he never visited again...or the day he brought a new dog home that tried to eat everyone in the house. And don't get him started about the Hot Dog Incident of '04 or the Great Stomach Bug of '08 (what he dubs "The Abomination"). You can read about these and other dog stories in his first book Long Lessons: What I Thought I Knew about (Wiener) Dogs. He lives with his wife and three nutty Dachshunds in Memphis, Tennessee, where he is currently working on several new stories that he can't seem to write fast enough.
