The fabulous statue, the Golden Dachshund, has been stolen. The exiled King and Queen of Stanislavia had lent it to a museum in New York. Everyone leaps to the conclusion that it has been stolen by the dictator of Stanislavia. But Tim was at the party to unveil it, and he is the only one who really knows who the thieves are!

So instead of flying home as planned, he slips out of the airport, and searches for them. The chase soon escalates, and he finds himself cycling frantically through the streets of New York after a hot dog van with only his courageous little dog for back-up!

Industry Reviews

Timothy Malt and his cheerful dog Grk find themselves in New York City in the third installment in this comic adventure series (A Dog Called Grk, 2006; Grk and the Pelotti Gang, 2007). A solid-gold dachshund statue, once owned by the expatriate Stanislavian king, is stolen from an exhibition of Eastern European art, and Tim figures out who has it. The aptly named Dr. Wiener is a hot-dog tycoon whose collection of dachshund-inspired art includes stolen paintings by Holbein, Leonardo and Picasso. Tim, with Grk in tow, runs Dr. Wiener to ground, and puts himself and Grk several times in harm's way (encountering bullets, poison gas grenades, runaway construction equipment and cauldrons of boiling hot-dog innards) before his heroism pays off. Slightly breathless and silly but a page-turning escapade for middle-grade readers, nevertheless. (Fiction. 9-12) (Kirkus Reviews)
