The Dog Song!

I just discovered a very sweet song by a very sweet lady about a very sweet subject. I give you – "The Dog Song" by Nellie McKay.

Clearly Nellie loves her pooch, but the song has a great message too; "Just go right to the pound/ And find yourself a hound/ And make that doggie proud/ 'cause that's what it's all about."

This is great advice! In Australia 23 dogs and cats are put to sleep every hour because there aren't enough loving homes for them – it just makes sense to get a dog from a shelter and save a life (rather than buying from a pet store or breeder). Not only that, but you'll end up with a very loving and loyal companion.

I was pretty impressed with this cute song so I looked up the singer. It seems Nellie has also written a song about the vivisection that goes on at Columbia university and is involved in the campaign to ban horse drawn carriages from city streets. Sounds like the animals have a very talented friend in her!

I'm gonna go walk my best friend now!
