My furry fourlegged friend is a 17-year-old former dog clothing model and lives in a loft in NYC (the bitch made it as a model in Manhattan and left me behind! America’s Top Meanie!) Back when she was young, we’d huddle together, homeless, in shells of buildings in Detroit and Pontiac, MI. She never got the royal treatment until she was discovered by a talent scout who took one look at me and sniffed — and I’m not sure how she’d respond to this:

Oh yes, it’s real. And it gets better. This CD was “created by Skip Haynes and Dana Walden of the L.A. based Laurel Canyon Animal Company (the only record label that creates music about, for and with animals), who utilized the talents and expertise of intuitive animal communicator Dr. Kim Ogden to translate for them,” according to the press release.

“Canine focus groups selected from over 250 dogs nationwide were assembled and questioned by Dr. Ogden as to their preferences in music and content. The dogs’ responses were then used as guides for the music and lyrics resulting in a CD of songs that dogs love. ”

The CD, apparently, has already yielded a hit, “Squeaky Deaky” — which is accompanied by possibly one of the best videos EVER.

People on YouTube have already posted vids of their dogs reacting to the music. Straight up viral woofiness?
