What happens

The Ugly Dachshund is a 1966 American comedy film directed by Norman Tokar, written by Albert Aley, and starring Dean Jones and Suzanne Pleshette in a story about a Great Dane who believes he is a dachshund. Produced by Walt Disney Productions, the film was based on a 1938 novel by Gladys Bronwyn Stern. It was one of several light-hearted comedies produced by the Disney Studios during the 1960s. The animated featurette Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, was attached to the film in theatrical showings. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
