Alfred was a dachshund who wanted to be a trained seal. He goes about it in an amusing way -- and proves a dismal failure. Since his ""girl friend"" wasn't too keen about the idea, that was all right after all... It's fun, and original, but it seems to me the humor is a bit adult. For the youngsters, the pictures are better than the story.
