Look At The Dancing Dog!

After yesterday’s serious blog on politics, perhaps a little comic relief is in order!

Thanks to friend and fellow Ohio State Buckeye Geoff Hornbeck for sending me the following video. With over 4 million views on YouTube, you may have seen this one already, but if you haven’t---well…you’re in for a treat.

I love critters—and dogs in particular are incredible. Unconditional love, dependability, loyalty and affection. There’s a reason why they’re called “man’s best friend”. No matter how silly we can make them look to their little dog friends, they still wag their tails and come back for more abuse.

Stupid little coats when it’s cold, Halloween costumes in October and little antlers near Christmastime. It’s a wonder they don’t turn on us and bite hard.

It’s one thing to teach the simple commands like “STAY”, “HEEL” and “SIT”. When we progress to “PLAY DEAD!”, “ROLL OVER” and “SHAKE”, we may be crossing a line in the canine world. We are, in essence, trying to make them furry humans.

Our dog Molly will have none of it. A beautiful Golden Retriever, she can deal with “sit” and “stay”, but with most other commands, we are greeted with a blank stare that we translate as, “huh?”

Not so the following hound. Check out this dog, which, despite the humiliating dress—has learned to dance the merengue—hilarious!

Amazing, no? It even appears that this dog is enjoying the whole experience!

Could have done without the party dress, though.
