Norman Badler is the Rachleff Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He received his BA in Creative Studies Mathematics from the University of California Santa Barbara in 1970, his MSc in Mathematics from the University of Toronto in 1971, and his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Toronto in 1975. His academic research involves developing software to portray and animate 3D computer graphics humans, both individually and in groups. He has supervised numerous PhD students, many of whom have become academics or researchers in the movie visual effects and game industries. At home he enjoys baking and being Ginny's sous chef. He can often be found in his big chair with a dachshund at his side.
These stories and pictures span more than fifty years of relationships with our pets. We trace the origins and evolution of our pet families which led to unexpectedly strong mutual bonds between us and a specific dog breed: dachshunds. Generations of dachshunds have captivated and entertained us with their humor, foibles, intelligence, and interactions. Our adoptions and rescues have in turn amply rewarded us by their companionship and comedic antics, and by their loyalty and love. More than just pets, they have brought us the sadness of endings and the joys of beginnings as endearing family members.
