Wienie, who might be the same character as Long Dog the Dachshund, is a semi-anthropomorphic dachshund who appears to have once been owned by Mickey Mouse.
Description[]
Wienie is a long and bendy dachshund with a very pliable body. In the 1920's and 1930's, he was a friend and possibly pet of Mickey Mouse's, notably aiding him in the manufacturing of an airplane[1][2] and in the management of a golf course.[3]
Mickey also has a dachshund acquaintance known as Long Dog the Dachshund.[4] Long Dog might be an alias of Wienie.
Behind the scenes[]
Wienie appeared in some cartoons and comic strips in the late 1920's and early 1930's. Notably, he appeared in the first-ever produced cartoon to star Mickey Mouse, Plane Crazy. He also appeared in the first-ever comic story to feature Mickey Mouse, Lost on a Desert Island, which is where he was referred to as "Wienie". The name "Long Dog the Dachshund" originates from the 1931 storybook, The Adventures of Mickey Mouse.
