Fritz the Dachshund is a giant balloon that appeared in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
The balloon only appeared in two parades in 1932 and 1933 and would retire after the latter year. Fritz was one of the first balloons to have a built-in sound unit which made the barking noise from the balloon itself. The parade team would later create a new Dachshund named Freida which debuted in 1949.
