Based on the beloved canine from the classic book Pretzel by award-winning authors Margret and H.A.

When your dad is the 'world's longest dachshund,' it puts a whole new twist on growing up! The eight episodes follow Pretzel (Duplass), Greta (Pedrad) and the puppies, in their hometown of Muttgomery. They are a modern and unique family who are always sniffing out ways to 'Make Their Bark,' and make the world a better place for their four-legged friends and neighbors.
