Songs About Dogs

Last week Dean started a thread about favorite songs about cars.

It went over well and was a lot of fun!

What if we did it again, but this time how about songs about dogs?

Don't just limit it to favorites, it can be funny, serious, corny... Just as long as it mentions... Dogs!

I'll enter this one, giving credit to the writer.
Mr. Bojangles
 
The Bottle Rockets have one called,I love My Dog.Hank III has one about his hunting dog,can't quite remember the name,but it is easy to find on U-tube,and it is a foot stomper.
 
I had a dog .and his name was Blue,,Ill betchya five dollars he was a good dog too///I think Peter,Paul,and Mary sang it,,but Im not sure
 
Lobo, dog named boo
Henry Gross, Shannon.
Baha men, who let the dogs out.
Blake Shelton, I'll name the dogs.
Ton T Hall, i love.
Does a wolf count? Sam the sham, little red riding hood.
 
Yep, minute I replied about that song I realized it's been a long time since I heard it. I went over to youtube and watched that exact same video.
 
1957 I was 7 years old and my folks took me and my kid sister to the Ringoes drivein to see Old Yeller. O my good lord me and my sister cryed all the way home and half of the night too. Movie then sing along.
Old Yeller
 
Jeff, I was only 2 when that came out, so I kinda missed it...

But watching the intro to the video, Yeller chasing the rabbit, brought this one to mind.

Under the funky eclectic category:
Rabbit
 
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for sale

Patti Page 1953
 
Well that song is a bit different isn't it. Watch the Old Yeller movie if you really want a good cry. Woman like it too. Kinda shows you how cruel nature can be. There is no way Disney studios would make that movie today in this PC correct wimpy society.
 
Remember the little yellow golden book records when you were a kid. You would play it on your little record player till your mother would flip out! Watch this one.
Doggie
 
Well is sorta about a dog...Black Dog by led zeppelin. The title is after a black lab that hung around Headley Grange studio where they were recording.
 
Hey newhollandnut I seen they down your way at the Lawrence county fair with Sawyer Brown in 1991 or 92.
 
Tom T Hall old dogs children and watermellon wine. Will i see my dog in heaven . and not so much a song Paul Haverys on the 9 day God created a dog
 
Feed Jake was my Dad's favorite song back then. So it became my favorite dog song too. Pretty sure that song must have came out about a year before my Dad lost his life under a wagon load of logs. Changing a flat tire at the time, and I was with the deputy when we found him early that morning. His dogs name was Jake also, patiently waiting for help to arrive, inside Dads truck. Dad was 69 years old.
 
John, great song!

Haven't heard it before, feel like I just went on a Mississippi river boat trip to the past!
 
I'll probably catch some incoming on this, but I gotta tell it.

Everyone is familiar with the nickname "Doggie" for Army soldiers. It's a holdover from the nickname "Dogfaces" in WWI.

Anyway, I was once part of a group of Marines that went on temporary duty to an Army base in New Mexico. While we were there, one of our favorite diversions was tormenting the Army Mess Sergeant, a M/Sgt. Hardy. Hardy maintained a desk inside a glass cubicle in one corner of the mess hall.

One evening while we were eating dinner, Hardy was seated at his desk inside the glass cubicle when the song, "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window" came on. Marine MSgt. Burl "Buck" Rogers shouted clear across the mess hall, "Hey Hardy, they're playing your song".

It took Hardy all of 3 seconds to change the station on the radio.
 
Well the song Classified by CW McCall mentions a dog named Frank. And also Black Dog by Shooter Jennings. Move It On Over by Hank Williams.
 
Catholic grade school. We sang "old dog tray". or was it old dog dish. Either way Bruce D. was a stinker and would sing it the wrong way. Some NUNS really liked to use their stick on him.
 
Look up the Twilight Zone episode "The Hunt" The story of the mountain man and his hunting dog. They almost don't make it to Heaven.

Driving West on I10 through Louisiana in the early 90's they played a Cajun song with the lyrics "That dog gonna get mad and bite you Boy".
Lewis Grizzard told of Bubba and Earl at a U of Ga football game ant the team masgot's, a bulldog named Uga, started licking his privates, Bubba leans over and said "wish I could do that" and Earl replied "why, Bubba that dog would bite you".
 
King would go running off after deer,
Wasn't 'scared of jumping off the truck in high gear!
 
Great thread, Steve.

I was away yesterday evening and did not find it until today.

FWIW, I like Ray's post Move It On Over by Hank.

Dean
 
Great choice, Ray.

For those of you who have not heard it, I've posted a link below.

Move It On Over went to #4 on the country charts in 1947.

Great classic country.
