  • @Ladrusty
    @Ladrusty Před 4 lety +533

    I remember it as if it was yesterday -- although it was 32 years ago. I guess you could call it my five minutes of fame. I am the contestant whose sheltie, Aladdin, won the coveted golden fire hydrant (which still sits on a bookshelf in my home office). For those of you who weighed in on the possibility that dogs howl to certain sounds because it hurts their ears, I can tell you with assurance that was not the case with Laddie. I got him as an eight week old puppy from a backyard breeder, and when he was just a few months old I discovered his fondness for the harmonica quite by accident. Whenever I pulled it out to play a tune, he would come running to me, sit up straight as an arrow, point his nose in the air and howl. Even if I played the harmonica so softly you could barely hear it -- so softly it couldn't possibly hurt his ears -- he would sing. Nothing deterred him, and I never trained him in this behavior. He LOVED that harmonica, and singing along with it just came naturally to him. So, of course, when I heard about auditions for the Tonight Show's singing dog contest in Burbank, (within an hour's drive of my home), I figured Laddie was a shoe-in. They auditioned several hundred dogs, but when I got the callback informing me that we were one of the six finalists, I can't say I was surprised. The show was taped earlier in the day on New Year's Eve, 1987 for airing that night. So I guess you could say the episode dates back to 1987 or 1988 -- take your pick. As for my memories of the experience -- I recall that Laddie and I shared a dressing room with Kona and her owner, and that one of the Smother's Brothers -- who were guests on the show that night -- dropped by to say "hello." I remember thinking, when we were actually onstage with Johnny, that he was a lot shorter than I realized. And I remember hoping that he wouldn't engage me in conversation because I was getting over a bad cold and had terrible laryngitis. I chose to play "Auld Lang Syne" since it was New Year's Eve, but afterwards wished I'd chosen a longer and more upbeat tune because it was just over much too quickly, and a toe-tapping tune would have been funnier (like that snazzy piano tune that Columbo's owner played). And I remember that while we, the contestants, were all standing onstage with our dogs waiting for the applause meter to determine the winner, that "washout" Columbo kept trying to sniff Laddie's butt, and Laddie kept trying to duck behind me to get away from him. Then, before we knew it, they were calling the winner -- and Laddie and I were holding the golden fire hydrant and beaming from ear to ear. I'm sure it helped that I had family and friends in the audience cheering us on. But I also think Laddie performed like the Blue Ribbon champion he always was, and deserved to win. In fact, when my friends and family gathered at my house that night to celebrate New Year's Eve and to watch "The Tonight Show," in real time, we all had a good laugh when Laddie -- who was, of course, the guest of honor -- stood in front of the TV and began to sing along with himself as soon as he heard the harmonica on the TV. Sadly, my sweet Laddie died at the rather young age of nine. He collapsed in the hills chasing a rabbit on a Memorial Day weekend, and though my husband and I rushed him to the Animal Hospital, he died in my arms in the car. Those of you who are dog lovers know that losing a dog is like losing a beloved member of your family. It was one of the saddest days of my life. But I'm happy that he lives on through this CZcams video. And I'd like to think that he is in doggie heaven, still singing his little heart out.

      I came searching for this as I remembered these dogs from 30 some years ago and the basset that had stage fright lol. Dogs sing for a thousand different reasons. Happy, sad, lonely, pain (of course). But how are they suppose to speak? I used to have a mastiff that never shut up lol he just wanted to tell me about his day and what all happened and how he felt about it lol. But most of mine speak - they have found vocalization easier then mind reading lol I fail their messages every time unless they tell me lol

      Dogs 'sing' NOT because their ears get hurt........
      I had been able to make every dog I kept, sing. All of them needed a musical single-note sound from something like a pitch pipe, to initiate them into 'singing' mood.

He cared more about you and me his audience than his own family, which is what a lot of these famous people do until we hear the other side of their life story from the family, just look at what he did to a loyal Joan Rivers??? Don't get me wrong, I really did and still do like Johnny Carson, he was a great late nite talk show host which no one will ever come close too and he had a lot of great shows, but, the show at home with his family should have come first, not the one for us, his audience. He was and still will be the greatest late-nite host that ever lived, no one will ever come close to him, but, I still do feel bad for the way his family thinks of him today, what we see on stage, is not what his boys had to live with.

    I grew up with Johnny Carson all I can say he was funny and full of class I really hate living in these times. I'm building a time machine and traveling back to the greatest generation in our history ALL ABOARD....... And the best TV Johnny Carson, Carol Burnett, Streets of San Francisco, Manix, Culumbo, this list goes on

    I had a singing dog when i was a kid. His name was Skippy. We'd set him on the piano bench and i would play and he would howl away. He'd let us do anything with him including dressing him up as a baby and rolling him around in a doll's baby stroller. What a great kid's dog he was. Rip Skippy!

    When I was about 8, my parents bought me a trumpet. I got pretty good at it. We had a nice mixed-breed dog named Ginger. I guess my playing hurt his ears, because he would howl when I played. One day my grandfather stopped by, and, as was her custom, my Mom asked me to play a tune for him. My granddad sat through my rendition of “America the Beautiful,” and my Mom asked Grandpa what he thought. Grandpa turned to me and said, “Do you know a tune that Ginger DOESN’T know?”
