I also teared up for Rookie and Carolyn.

I do wonder why nobody so far has stated the obvious: It’s the dogs who have trained the humans, not the other way round!

Dogs love to dance with their people, even informally. Most people just don’t get it, so don’t try. I used to dance with my dogs just spontaneously, and sometimes with other people’s dogs– we could stop a party. It never took long for us to develop a sense of the cues each sent the other. I didn’t even know there was a dog dancing “world” until I saw this vid for the first time last year, and wish I had. Every time I watch it I laugh and clap with joy. And miss my dogs something fierce. I can hardly wait to get another one. What made this duo so special was the joyful intensity of the partnership. Take a look at the vid menu at the bottom and watch for the one titled “Tribute to Rookie”. That one made me tear up something fierce.

This was amazing. Especially the first video. I started getting teary eyed at the bond between the woman and her dog. You can tell that they really love each other.

Whoah.. Someone sure knows how to train a dog! That put a smile on my face. Great stuff!

I don’t know about the dogs, but the guy looked kind of “pancakey”…

That dog just loves to dance. Period.

So earlier today I was having one of the worst days in a long while. Then I watched this lady. So much better now! Hilarious, LOVE IT!

Monty said exactly what I was thinking, how did I not know this existed? and, best thing since dancing horses! I also got a lump in throat and a bit teary.

In the Swedish version of Britain’s got Talent, we have a girl dancing with her dog as well. It’s pure gold, I couldn’t stop laughing!

It’s a bit of talk in Swedish in the beginning and end of this, but check out the middle part… and I swear the dog is smiling!

The headline made reference to the dancing horse shown last year. I remembered that one, my thought at the time was why show it. He was good, but nowhere nearly as good as Anky van Grunsven. I watch those every now and then to wash out the taste of Paris Hilton and their like. There is class, looks and breeding. By the way, she just turned 40.
