Put your dachshund on a magazine cover.
Upload one photo and your dachshund becomes this month's cover star of Modern Mutt — deadpan interview, suspiciously specific stats, a feud with the usual suspects, the works. Free to make and share. The clean, frame-ready file is $7.99.
What makes dachshunds good cover material.
Bred to go down a badger hole on purpose, which tells you most of what you need. The German name translates literally as badger dog, and every inch of that shape — long body, short legs, absurd confidence — was engineered for going somewhere narrow and deeply unwelcoming. Dachshunds are stubborn out of professional necessity, and none of them have accepted retirement. The cover treats every stolen sock as continued field work.
Three dachshunds, three completely different covers.
Nothing below is a template with a dachshund's name dropped into it — it is what the engine actually wrote for three different dachshunds, from three different sets of answers.
Otto — a chaotic, dramatic dachshund, sworn enemy of the Roomba, best known for counter-surfing:
Inside the Secret Life of a Dachshund
- The robot question — It moves on its own. That is reason enough.
- Counter-surfing — A relentless one-dog campaign for the high ground
- Officially uninsurable — Locally famous, beloved everywhere, and banned from two rooms
"Everything I have, I got by staring. The Roomba knows what it did."
907 treats negotiated · 47 Roomba standoffs survived · 5 dramatic sighs per hour
Gus — a derpy, dramatic dachshund, sworn enemy of the vacuum, best known for the full sprawl:
He Breaks His Silence
- The starfish — Five points, no apologies, and the entire bed
- Feelings, at volume — A range insiders describe as theatrical and untreatable
- A dachshund of rare distinction — Setting a standard the others pretend not to notice
"The couch was like that when I got here."
502 treats negotiated · 23 vacuum standoffs survived · 8 dramatic sighs per hour
Bruno — a anxious, derpy dachshund, sworn enemy of the squirrels, best known for the guilt stare:
Twelve Minutes With Bruno, Who Is Busy
- Beautifully unbothered — Gets away with everything. Has never once tried.
- On high alert — Everything is a threat, and everything has been logged
- A dachshund of rare distinction — Setting a standard the others pretend not to notice
"Every meal is my last meal. It's not drama, it's policy. The squirrels know what they did."
1,351 treats negotiated · 38 squirrel standoffs survived · 3 dramatic sighs per hour

The fine print, minus the fine print.
What do I get with a dachshund cover?
Making and sharing the cover is free (it carries a small watermark). The paid download is a clean, watermark-free 8.5×11 file at 320 DPI for $7.99 — it prints true-size on letter paper at home or at any print shop.
How does it work?
Upload one photo of your dachshund, pick a personality, a sworn nemesis, and a signature move — our deadpan editorial engine writes the whole cover in about 60 seconds. No account needed.
Is my photo kept private?
Yes. Covers live at an unlisted link only you can share, they're never shown publicly or used for advertising, and free covers are automatically deleted after about 30 days.
Can I send it as a gift?
That's the classic move: make the cover free, share the link with family, and anyone — including the grandparents — can grab the print-ready file.
