Where does the name "Drań" come from? From a song by the Old Gentlemen's Cabaret. We are cheap rascals . A powerful name, reflecting the strength of a dachshund's spirit. Because anyone who has lived with a dachshund under the same roof knows that these dogs cannot be ignored. Drań, also called Dranisław or Draniuszek, entered Zosia's family's life at a particularly difficult time – right after martial law in 1981. Back then, he was a small, dumpling-like puppy, but almost immediately filled the entire house and the hearts of all its inhabitants with his personality. He became a comforter in times of hardship and a companion in joys and sorrows. He could be a rascal, but he was also a fearless, loyal friend. In his small dachshund body, he carried an unwavering character. He barked basset-like, had his own opinion on everything, and loved in his own way. He was a dog not only loved but also respected. The story of Drań transports the reader to the 1980s. It tells the story of friendship – human and canine. It shows that even in the most difficult times, dachshund love is like a cup of warm tea on a frosty day. The Bastard is a real character. The author's first, long-awaited dog, her faithful friend since elementary school. And we all know that a first dog is like a first love – you never forget him!
