When we first published the picture above in our Wildlife issue we figured some people would get upset. Pointing a gun at the face of a poor little Dachshund would certainly rile up some of this country’s overly zealous dog lovers. But now that people are continually harassing photographer Will Sherman and in some cases even threatening his life we figured we would come clean and let you all in on a little secret. It’s a goddamn lighter not a gun, so stop your bitching and superfluous emails. Geez, can’t you take a joke? Then again, in a town that actually holds two Dachshund Festivals a year, the Fido-laden fanaticism all of a sudden made sense. After the jump we provide excerpts of some of the more incensed of the canine commenters, one guy even offering $2k to come rescue the thing.

I dont know you, but i really care abour that dog. If youre still in touch with that dog I’m offering you 2000 $ us for it. I will go and pick it up wherever you want.
I have a dog exactly the same in here and I will take good care of it. I like daschund.
I’m really serious here is my phone number reverse the charge if you want 1-514-688-2872
Loved the photo – it is hilarious. Dont mind the haters, those bedroom inadequacies tend to make them a little over-dramatic. Besides, there are those times when the dog needs to understand – that too many accidents in the house will not be tolerated.
You truly a quite smart individual! Nice post! GA in fact also my biggest earning. However, it’s not a much.
not funny at all i know the gun isnt real, but think of how that dog must have felt i really hope in the future you just take more whats the word im looking for not looking like your about to shoot the fucking dog in the face pictures
I agree that is messed up even if it is fake. some one should shove a gun in your face and see how you like is. Your all stupid if you think that is funny.
i have a dachshund and doing that to a poor dog u guys r freaking fags
I googled 'dachshund' and laughed when this came up.
Must be why we still get hate mail.
Hahahahaahahashahshahshshahshhahahahahaaha at all the idiots who co
Mented thinking they killed that dog, pathetic internet tough guys
That is a very sad photo. I honestly hope that this was a one time mistake and that poor animal has had the good fortune to have been rescued from the obviously terrible environment that it was in during the time the photo was taken. What in the world could anyone find funny about this pic? It is a testament to immaturity. Please understand that animals have emotions just like ours. All they want is to love and be loved. You should be ashamed of yourself for ever doing a behavior like that, let alone taking a pic and braging that you are insane enough to think that is amusing. Please call the person who offered to buy the dog from you and sell it to him/her, and please, for the love of God, do not EVER EVER EVER get another animal, not even a fish, or ever have children. CONTD…..
CONTINUED….. If you would do something like that to an animal I shudder to think of how you would treat a defenseless little child. Do you not have any compassion or empathy? Before you act like this again, please try to imagine how you would feel if you had to live that animal's life. The poor thing probably shakes in fear every time it hears you coming. I cannot even imagine what an awful life that poor little baby must have. Again, please sell that dog to the person who offered you money for it, and I beg you to never have children or have another pet ever again. Thank you for taking time to read this.
You made some really good points there. I did a explore on the topic and uncovered plenty of people will agree along with your blog.
