Sing out, Louise!

A great big thank you to Rachel Maddow for making my job so much easier.

A few days ago, she had a story about dogs who howl along to the "Law & Order" theme song.

Maddow asked her viewers to send in videos of their dogs howling to whatever it is they howl to.

And, gosh, did the viewers respond.

Here is Maddow's collection of canine clips.

I think the first one of Joey singing to the Empire Carpet commercial is my favorite, especially when his owner, at the very end, said, "Empire," and Joey howled again.

Also at the top of my list is Malkovich the Mastiff and Joey, who looks stunning in his outfit.

Now remember to play these at top volume on your computer.

Theme song to howl to?

ABC News posed the question "Why do dogs howl at 'Law & Order' Song?"

To me it makes sense; the producer is, after all, Dick Wolf.

Here's ABC's answer by Ki Mae Heussner.

Apparently Knuckles is a YouTube sensation.

Remember this video from Paws in the Park 2008.
