The Tattooed Dog was Paul Maar's first children's book, who was disappointed with the poor quality of children's books in the 1960s and therefore thought up stories for his children himself.

It is a collection of stories that are tattooed on the body of a fairy tale dog and begins with the following sentence:

"One day - it was around half past four in the afternoon - a dog came into the jungle and met a lion there."

The Leo finds the images extremely interesting and is eager to hear the stories that go with them. For a liver sausage sandwich, the dog is also ready to tell him the stories.

How the tomcat Traugott became mayor

The two cats Traugott and Raff couldn't be more different. Traugott was fat and sluggish, Raff was slim and nimble. When their mother sent them into the world, Traugott impressed the other animals so much with his stoic indolence that they took him for a tiger and made him mayor of their city.

The story of the donkey who wanted to become a zebra

The donkey Maxi would also like stripes like the zebra and was tricked by the monkey Kukuk, who led him in front of a garden fence. This cast shadows on the donkey's back, whereupon the donkey thought it also had black stripes.

The story of the magician Abra Kadabrax

The monkeys Schlevian and Kukuk wanted the magician Abra Kadabrax to conjure up smaller ears. Since he was not at home, they tried their hand at magic with grotesque results. When the wizard discovered the chaos, he was very angry. In the mess, a picture fell on one of the two monkeys that he had turned into a dog, and the dog was covered with pictures.

This tattooed dog had depicted a dog on his left ear, which was tattooed on his ear, on which a dog could be seen, on his ear, etc., etc.
