Arindam:- Good afternoon, viewers! We are back again with a new episode of ‘Animal Interview’ in your favorite TV channel ‘Royal Bengal Tiger TV’ (RBTV), where in every episode we take interviews of animals. Today, in this episode, we have invited the famous Dachshund, whose name is Deckham. He is popularly known as ‘Dackel Deckham’. Deckham, welcome to our show!
Deckham:- Oh! Thanks, Arindam!
Arindam:- Deckham, please don’t take it negatively. But, you are a very short-heighted dog. Your shape and size is just somewhat larger than a rabbit or a cat. Don’t you feel dejected when people pass comments at you by saying, ‘Oh? Look at that poor little dog. It never grows up.’
Deckham:- Ha ha ha…people are always there to pass comments. That’s why; God has given me two ears.
Arindam:- Oho! Maybe, you are a little doggy in stature, but your brain is sharper than all those large dogs. I must appreciate that. Recently, you have won the ‘International Dachshund Race 2011’ in Berlin. Congratulation for winning that race!
Deckham:- Oh! Thanks! I think that full credit goes to my master, Mr. Beckham.
Arindam:- Beckham! I mean, are you talking about David Beckham!
Deckham:- No, no, I am talking about the cousin brother of David. My master’s name is Bobby Beckham. He lives in Park Street area of Kolkata. Actually, my master is a trainer of dogs under CID department of Kolkata Police. His father-in-law, Christopher Cowen lives in California, who gifted me to my new master as a birthday gift 3 years ago.
Arindam:- Wow! Your old master sent you to the new master to get trained…he he he…please don’t mind…it is just a joke!
Deckham:- No, it was not so easy for me to adjust with my new master. I was treating him as a stranger. When I become angry, I act in a very ferocious manner. I kept on barking so loudly that our neighboring dogs used to come and stare at me from outside our main gate.
Arindam:- Oho! Really, it was a very hard task for Mr. Beckham.
Deckham:- Arindam, ‘TRAINING A DACHSHUND’ like me is not so easy. I was literally on fast for 1st week due to anger. I am a very sentimental dog. If I find a place unsuitable for me, I don’t mingle with anyone residing in that place. Out of frustration, I can even attack babies or puppies. Can’t help it! God has created me like that. Gradually, when I started realizing that Bobby is taking very special care of me, I realized his tenderness towards me. Even his wife, Merilyn is so sweet! Her smile just melts my heart.
Arindam:- Oops! Before keeping a Dachshund, I should marry a sweet girl…ha ha ha…yeah, yeah, please carry on!
Deckham:- I was given training as a sniffer dog. Say, by smelling an object, I have to find out another object having identical smell in the premises or garden. But, I am a very moody dog. Once, I was instructed to go and trace out whether there is any bomb or not in the Howrah station. I completely ignored that instruction. The CID people took the decision to remove me from the bomb squad due to my bad attitude. After that incident, my master started training me how to act as a security guard and then how to run races. He kept me as a pet dog only. Anyway, I am feeling very hungry and sleepy now. I need to go. Just end your show here. Good bye.
