In German, we call bats "Fledermaus" (fluttering mouse) and this is the missing link between them and regular mouses. Who would have guessed that of all the peoples in the world, the Germans have been right all this time

My dog's name is Die Fledermaus. He's a black-and-tan dachshund.

We call him Maus for short. But he does look like a little bat dog.
