At first, nightclub audiences in 1963 were delighted by “Randolph and Mr. Flopsy,” the world’s first canine ventriloquist act. Their enthusiasm cooled, however, when they inevitably noticed Randolph’s jowls moving.

Watch out for the tongue
I love that this beautiful baby had his formal portrait taken with his favorite toy! He looks so proud, too. My heart is one big squishy mess right now.
He does look Very Regal there.

Ouch! I think I need a CAT scan after that one!
And Doc says I need a PET scan.
*giggle* (no pun enclosed)
He really needs to have his nose booped and his ears pet, doesn’t he? He’s a handsome boy!
Such a serious ans handsome boy!
He has intelligent eyes. It’s not like the normal canine “photographer has a treat” look.
He’s either the best dog ever or a giant butthead. Knowing labs, probably both.
Exactly! Both my Labs fit that description.
Well, they are no Wayland and Madame, but I loff them anyway.
Randolph was fine – I’m sure it was Mr. Flopsy who didn’t hold up his end of the act.
It was all a media beat up. Don’t believe a word!
Yes, Mr Flopsy never got the knack of drinking a gottle o’ geer.
WIN!!!
He does have a “Yes, I’m a big strong dog, but I have a sensitive side, so what?!” look about him, doesn’t he? Very handsome, indeed.
Do ya think Mr Floppsy ever had eyes, or were the surgically removed by Randolph’s teefs? Perhaps they were licked off. Randolph looks like a licker to me.
They said licker’s quicker, altho candy is dandy.
Licker? I hardly know ‘er!
I love how their paws are parallel and just barely touching. And how the toy is all, ‘Baroo?’
Do you think you can still baroo without eyes?
