Meet Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund!
If this charming little wiener dog looks familiar, it’s with good reason. Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund is one of Canada’s biggest internet sensations, with his own blog, a New York Times bestselling book and 2.5-million Facebook followers. Having garnered a worldwide following, it was only natural to take the phenomenally photogenic pooch across the globe for his follow-up book, Crusoe, The Worldly Wiener Dog. From Switzerland’s Alps to Alberta’s Dinosaur Provincial Park, this diminutive dachshund’s delightfully goofy travel snaps (and hilarious first-person captions, courtesy of two-legged pal Ryan Beauchensne, above) are sure to put a smile on your face.
1. Crusoe grocery shopping
“I might be a superstar of the digital world, but at home I live a pretty regular, low-key, even modest, type of life near Ottawa, Ontario.”
“I also do more chores than I should. Like, I am way too famous to be seen meandering about a third-rate grocery store trying to find whatever the heck ‘two bunches of radicchio’ is?! How about two bunches of this is ridiculous!?”
2. Crusoe running in the Swiss mountains
“I was udderly excited to visit Grindelwald, a region of Switzerland that feels so truly magical it’s like something out of another world.”
“We spent much of our time hiking among the Alps, enjoying the fresh mountain air and gorgeous scenery. As always, I led the adventure, barely staying in sight of the group.”
3. Robinson Crusoe
“Behold the intrepid, awe-inspiring fictional character after whom I was named, Robinson Crusoe!”

4. Crusoe at Dinosaur Provincial Park
“Queue Jurassic Park music… As an aspiring paleontologist, I was absolutely thrilled at the prospect of exploring Alberta’s Dinosaur Provincial Park in hopes of discovering some ancient fossils, or perhaps even a new species of dinosaur!”
5. Crusoe on an Italian boat tour in Cinque Terre
“The best way to explore Cinque Terre is by boat. We chose to go with a friendly, very enthusiastic local man named Stefano and his boat the Matilde. Now I know what you’re thinking—how could I possibly NOT be the captain? Well, it was hard for me, but since it was Stefano’s boat, I agreed to be his second sailor in command.”

6. Crusoe fishing in Florida
“I’ve been going to Florida since I was a pup. Nowadays, I spend one to two months there per year. It’s a nice warm escape when I need it; a regular ripe supply of squirrels, guaranteed sunshine, beautiful beaches, and of course, some great fishin.’”
7. Crusoe in front of a cuckoo clock in Germany
“I was so excited—my ancestral homeland; of course, dachshund meaning “badger dog” in German.”
