Tales of the Dodo...and Beyond

This requires being a two-parter.  You'll understand soon enough.

As people here well-know, we have a lot of Broadway around these parts.  So, it's only proper that on occasion we go to the dogs.  That means that, thanks to the fine folks at The Dodo, we begin with an adorable Chihuahua named Casper who is obsessed with singing show tunes, joined by his good and understanding friend Pam Quinn.  

For what it's worth, this won me over -- on several levels -- after just seven seconds.  But it builds from there.

In the video above, Ms. Quinn mentions going on the show America's Got Talent with Casper.  So, it's only proper that, as they say in sports, we go to the video.  And here is their appearance.

What I love is that Pam Quinn handles the judge's comments and the whole situation magnificently and with great, warm, unpretentious humor.  As does Casper.

In the first video, she mentions how Casper nailed it.  Since you've already had the spoiler, I'll just reiterate -- he did.
