Long Steven Takes a Rain Check and Makes Mad Dash 

Meet Long Steven – the dog you never knew you needed in your life.

Long Steven is not just adorable – he’s irresistibly lovable, the kind of dog that steals your heart and refuses to give it back. But make no mistake, Long Steven isn’t your typical canine companion. He’s a dachshund – a sausage dog through and through – and he embraces every bit of that title with pride.

Long Steven is the embodiment of every dachshund stereotype, and that’s what makes him so hilariously endearing. He’s stubborn to a fault, louder than he needs to be, wonderfully dramatic, hopelessly needy, and at the same time, incredibly cuddly. One minute he’s causing chaos, the next he’s curling up beside you like a tiny, elongated heater. He’s a walking contradiction – a pint-sized pooch with the spirit of a much bigger dog, and yet, somehow, barely a dog at all.

Ridiculous? Absolutely.
Lovable? Undeniably.
Steven? Perfectly.

Now, imagine trying to convince this opinionated little guy to go outside when it’s raining. Every dog owner knows that struggle – the pleading, the bargaining, the foot-dragging (literally). In a hilarious short animation from Birdbox Studio, those everyday moments of canine stubbornness are brought to life with warmth, wit, and charm.

Beautifully animated and cleverly crafted, this short film captures the delightful frustration of peeing in bad weather, all through the lens of our long-bodied hero. Birdbox Studio, known for its sharp storytelling and expressive animation, delivers a piece that any dog lover will instantly connect with.

Get ready for giggles, eye-rolls, and maybe a few heartfelt sighs. This is Long Steven. And this is his (adorably annoying) world. We need more of these. More quirky characters. More charming storytelling. More bite-sized animations that capture the odd, funny truths of life with pets.
