I'm an avid dog lover, and this movie shows that even if you have a bad dog(which is the owners fault for letting them get that way) you don't just take it and drop it off at the shelter. They truly love Brutus and they work out their problems to become a happy family. A very humorous movie and great for families.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Ugly Dachshund
Parents need to know that this 1966 movie is a product of the era in which it was filmed, and the treatment of two Asian characters would be considered offensive by today's standards. The roles of husband and wife also seem dated. Lots of scenes of adorable puppies getting up to mischief will make this a winner for dog lovers.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Jim's decision to sneak home a Great Dane puppy without telling his wife first. Was there a different way he could have handled it? Why does Fran finally start to like Brutus? What do you think that says about her character?
