Dog Song Saturday: Tennessee Hound Dog

It's Dog Song Saturday here at For Love of a Dog.  Today's offering will get your toes tapping!  Tennessee Hound Dog is performed by bluegrass artists, the Osborne Brothers.  It's accompanied by a fun montage of, what else, hound dogs.  Have to say there's a photo or two that gave me that puppy fever, if you know what I mean.

Grab a dog or two.  Sit.  Stay.  Tap that toe and enjoy Tennessee Hound Dog!  Then scroll down below to explore some barking good dog blogs because today is a Pet Bloggers Hop.
