Music For Animals

The Dog Whisperer came to our neighborhood here in Laurel Canyon through the canine misfortunes of my neighbor Jane’s dog Gus. Gus obeyed everyone except Jane. Although Jane had saved Gus’s life on numerous occasions (literally) Gus didn’t seem to be aware of the fact, although he was totally attached to Jane he gave her a really tough time - behavior wise.

Enter the Dog Whisperer.

Normally, you heard Jane and Gus coming down the street long before you saw them.

GUS! STOP IT!.’ GUS DOWN! GUS SIT! These were the precursors, along with the sounds of bushes breaking, shoes skidding on gravel and good natured growling of Gus dragging Jane down the street on one of their many daily walks around the hill.

Today it was different. I didn’t even hear them walking up to me as I watered the plants in front of our house. They took me completely by surprise. I didn’t hear a thing but there they were. Totally quiet - like Ninjas. I was amazed.

Jane, what happened to Gus!’ He’s a totally different person. Did aliens come down and take over his body’ Is he on drugs’ Are you on drugs’ What happened’ It’s great he’s a new dog!

The Dog Whisperer happened is what happened.

The Dog Whisperer’ What’s the Dog Whisperer’

Cesar Milan the Dog Whisperer.

Who’s he’ I asked.

He’s this amazing guy in East L.A.’ I heard about through my friend Chris. He does things with dogs that will blow your mind. She said as Gus just sat there quiet as the perverbial mouse.

You mean this Dog Whisperer guy changed Gus’s behavior this radically’

Yes and it’s wonderful. Nobody knows about Cesar right now but he told me he’s going to be an Oprah and then he’ll be famous for what he can do with dogs that are considered unreachable.

Well, I said still somewhat stunned by Gus’s new persona, based on what he did turning Gus around I can sure believe that! Do you know why they call him the Dog Whisperer’ Does he whisper to dogs like the Horse Whisperer’

Jane said she wasn’t sure but that Cesar had this uncanny ability to communicate with dogs in a way that the animals responded to. He wasn’t an animal psychic, but a behavior expert when it comes to dogs with an uncanny ability to communicate to dogs.

Since Jane knew I own a record company that creates music for animals and used animal communicators she suggested I try and get in touch with Cesar to do some music about what he does.

A Dog whisperer CD’ I liked the idea. Unfortunately, I didn’t act on it soon enough. The Dog Whisperer did, in fact, go on Oprah and became a huge hit so that by the time I did try to contact him about making music for dogs he was so famous I couldn’t get through to him so our Dog Whisperer CD never got off the ground.

All I know is whatever the Dog Whisperer whispered; it worked and made our neighborhood a better and quieter place to live. My hat is off to Jane and Gus and Cesar.

To the Dog Whisperer. Maybe someday we’ll be able to create some music with Cesar and the dogs. Until then, if you have a dog you can’t handle, before you take it to the pound or give it away call Cesar Milan the Dog Whisperer. It will change you and your dog’s life in ways you can only dream about..
