==Biography==
Frankie was the youngest of a litter of six dachshund puppies born to Hildegarde and Ludwig von Weinerhund. As a pup, he loved romping and wrestling with his older brothers and sisters. He was the runt, but that only made him try harder! Early on, he exhibited a love of performing. While the other puppies were napping or playing, He was honing his skills as a juggler. For a time, he actually had a job at the circus. This occured during the time of JumpStart Reading for First Graders.
