I think the audience laughing was contagious too. I was sitting at my desk trying to suppress my laughter, but didn’t succeed very well. My eyes actually started tearing up, LOL. What a patient, laid back dog. Thanks for the laugh!

This is an adorable performance video, but we should acknowledge its direct debt to the artist William Wegman, who began making videos of his Weimerarner, Man Ray, back in the 1970s (when video was very young), and then with Man Ray's progeny, Fay Ray, and others. The human hands with a dog were used with Wegman's dogs in Sesame Street over the years.


Here's a video from LA MOCA with Wegman describing his early dog videos, and here are a couple of the Sesame Street segments.
