These aren't your daddy's dachshunds. These aren't your mother's wieners. These aren't your average sausage dogs. Twieners™ are a silly pair of urban pups with their own line of humorous greeting cards, clothing, and soon-to-be launched book series.

When they're not visiting their favorite city, the Big Apple, these two can be found in a loopy little town in middle America. Overrun with the over-wrought descendants of fairy tale fame, this tiny but teeming metropolis is a virtual parking lot of problems. And the place the Twieners call home. Here, they're often called upon when trouble bubbles up. Because here, like the Big Apple … hey, stuff happens.

Bold, brash, and a bit headstrong, this plump, impetuous pup tends to act first and think later. In her trademark black mask and enormous red cape, the hefty heroine bolts into action, barking out orders with all the subtlety of a drill sargeant. But the girl gets results. Her only known weakness: Unattended food.

Sweet, sensitive, and very soft-spoken, he also has the unique ability to pull just about anything out from under his sweater. Using brains over brawn, it’s usually Philbin who solves the problems posed by the various townfolk. He’s extremely loyal to The Dart and shines in her shadow. Oh, Philbin loves hot dogs, but hates hot dog jokes.
