Welcome to the insane and rarified world of Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld of the Institute of Romance Philology. Von Igelfeld is engaged in a never-ending quest to win the respect he feels certain he is due&#8211;a quest which has the tendency to go hilariously astray. <br><br>In <b>The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs</b><i>,</i> Professor Dr. Von Igelfeld is mistaken for a veterinarian and not wanting to call attention to the faux pas, begins practicing veterinary medicine without a license. He ends up operating on a friend&#8217;s dachshund to dramatic and unfortunate effect. He also transports relics for a schismatically challenged Coptic prelate, and is pursued by marriage-minded widows on board a Mediterranean cruise ship. 5913200 2003 The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs (Portuguese Irregular Verbs, #2) total:965|5:231|4:323|3:272|2:96|1:43| 965 3498 1256 151 2 0 false false Sun Mar 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 21:04:48 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 23:59:46 -0700 2009 The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs is a good, quick, relatively light-hearted read but I have to say I didn't find this book as funny or as entertaining as the first Professor Dr Von Igelfeld "entertainment", Portuguese Irregular Verbs, which started the series.
