Dachshund Through the Snow
by Roxanne St Claire
Agnes Santorini, known as "Yiayia" to her Greek clan, only has one thing on her Christmas list...a brown short-haired dachshund that matches the one she dreamed about, certain that pup is the one who can save her aging heart. When she learns that a local man has this very dog for adoption, she and her partner-in-crime, Gramma Finnie, join forces with their teenage granddaughter and set off to get their paws on the pooch. But things don't go quite as smoothly as expected. A quick walk through town turns complicated when the dog's owner has a simple demand, which sets off a series of events that have two grannies and one girl dashing through the snow with two dogs in tow. As they meet every demand and overcome every obstacle, Yiayia shares the secret of her past...and reveals just why this is the canine angel she needs to save her. Even if they manage to get the dog under their Christmas tree, that might not be where the little fellow belongs. And maybe, just maybe,...
