Petty news from Holland, but perhaps rather remarkable:

Special book 'Senta' Foundation for assistance dog
On Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at Huis Doorn took place the festive presentation of the first two copies of the booklet "Senta". In the book the author Margriet van der Werf Franke from Doorn describes in a playful manner the life of the dachshund of the former German Emperor Wilhelm II. The booklet is from April 1 for sale in the store house of Doorn and the purchase supports the Foundation's service dog.
Kaiser Wilhelm II came to the Netherlands in 1918 and lived until his death in 1941 in exile in Doorn. Senta with her boss came over from Germany at Amerongen Doorn. Wilhelm II had Senta bureid in the park of Huis Doorn and the monument is still there to visit.

I would love to get that. Unfortunately, it will be a long time before I am back at Doorn though.

Here is what I wrote from an earlier thread:

I asked the staff about the eagle statue in photos 3 & 4 where Pierre GG ,mentioned that the "5 Teckel-dogs" are buried. The statue is actually in front of the Royal dachshunds. The staff said that the statue was erected when Senta died in 1927. Senta was with Wilhelm through the entire Great war at his headquarters including trips to the front and lived to be an incredible 20 years of age. The Heartbroken Kaiser had the statue erected when Senta was laid to rest.

The other Dachshunds burried there are: Topsy, Arno, Wai-Wai and the last, unfortunately, I could not make out the name as the stone has worn.

Tony, I already expected it in some way, that you might find this message of interest.
