"Oh schnitzel!" Strudel's new addition to the FKD was not working.

"Strudel, how's it coming? We're going to need the FKD for the dog that's coming in this afternoon." Lucky was worried.

"Doing the best I can Lucky," Strudel grunted as she slid under the machine to have a look. "Hopefully it will be ready by then."

"Hey, um Lucky?" Patches had come up. "Rebound's in a little bit of a dilemma. Cupcake's trying to pull her out."

"Oh no." Lucky groaned. "What now?"

"She got stuck in the fence. Smashed into it while chasing a stray ball." Patches explained. "Not the sharpest fang in the snout."

"Sorry Strudel." Lucky apologized. "I'll be right back."

"No no. It's alright." Strudel sighed. "Toyo, could you give me that wrench over there? I think I found the problem."

"Okay friend." Toyo barked in her mechanical voice. She grabbed the wrench and brought it to Strudel. "Where are the squirrels?"

"I gave them a vacation. Though I wish I hadn't." Strudel said the last sentence more quietly.

Soon Rebound had been freed from the fence and the team was upstairs waiting for the new arrival, except for Strudel who was still trying to fix the FKD. Katchem's truck pulled in.

But out jumped a dashing dachshund. His collar was a little bow tie and he was black and white like a tux. He puffed out his chest with pride and smiled. His teeth were so bright and clean, they sparkled.

The dogcatcher led him to the kennel.

"Before you have to ask, my name is Frankfurter, I am a dachshund. I come from Germany of course, but my humans moved here. They left me behind and now I have nowhere to stay. But now I see that you are the Pound Puppies, and you will find me my perfect person." the dachshund said in a German accent.

"Well Frankfurter, you seem to know us very well." Lucky commented.

"Oh, yes. You are Lucky, Cookie, Squirt and Niblet. And they are your trainees, Patches, Rebound and Cupcake." Frankfurter clarified.

"Well you are correct. And you of course know Strudel, but she's downstairs working on the FKD. We'll take you down to her now." Cookie said.

The dogs jumped down into the underground headquarters.

"Strudel, our new dog has arrived." Lucky said to her, while she put in the last screw on the FKD.

"Hello M'Lady. I am Frankfurter of Germany." Frankfurter bowed.

Strudel turned around and immediately froze. "Of course I am Strudel. Yes. I am also grom Fermany. I mean, from Germany. I um, am the heck tound here, that is the tech hound." she stuttered.

Squirt looked at Frankfurter and then at Strudel. Back and forth.

"I'm outta here." Patches gave the three dogs one look and left the room.

"I'm right behind you!" Cupcake followed.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Rebound dashed after them.

"Uh…" Lucky watched the pups go. "Well let's start up the FKD and find you your person, Frankfurter."

"Yes..." Strudel typed in some buttons. "Alright. Um, you can just speak into this and tell us what you like."

"Well… I like frankfurters. And digging. AND pretty dogs." Frankfurter glanced at Strudel. She blushed. Squirt twitched.

It was going to be a long day.
