THE DOG HOUSE — If you refer to your dog as your “fur baby,” then you probably think everything it does is adorable and it is infallible.
You probably think that your dog is the sweetest of all dogs when it naps or cuddles or begs or eats or does anything a dog does. You probably even think that your dog’s howls are music to your ears.
Well I’m sorry to tell you that no matter how highly you think of your dog, the dog in this video just one-upped your dog and put it to shame, and it’s because this pooch does a pitch-perfect version of “Ave Maria.”
With clear and confident tones, the dog works it’s way through the beautiful Schubert song (or is that Scoobert?) with panache, flair, and spot-on vibrato. It may even bring you to tears.
OK, OK, the video is highly edited, so it’s not like the dog is howling any stanzas from start to finish. But if you think the video is edited to add a steady pitch and vibrato then you’re dead wrong.
With this unedited video as proof, you’ll see the dog has a natural talent for vibrato and multi-note howls. It has a true gift and sings (or howls) much better than I and at least 98 percent of my relations and friends do. Plus, it made me laugh pretty hard.
