You're such a good dog.
You're such a good dog.

You're a good dog.
You're a good dog.
You're a good dog.
Yes you are.
Oh, yes you are.

What a good dog.
Yes you are.
What a good dog.
Yes you are.
What a good dog.
Yes you are.
Yes you are.
Oh, yes you are.

I love
(I love)
Your toes.
(Your toes)
I love
(I love)
Your nose.
(Your nose)
I love
(I love)
Your feet.
And it's a treat
To watch you eat.

You're the best.
Such a good dog.
You're the best.
Such a good dog.
You're the best.
Yes you are.
Oh, yes you are.

What a good dog.
Yes you are.
What a good good dog.
Yes you are.
What a good dog.
Yes you are.
Yes you are.
Oh, yes you are.

I love
(I love)
Your toes.
(Your toes)
I love
(I love)
Your nose.
(Your nose)
I love
(I love)
Your feet.
And it's a treat
To watch you eat.

Yes you are.
You're a good dog.
We'll go far.
You're a good dog.
You're a star.
Yes you are.
Oh, yes you are.

You're a good dog.
You're the very best
You're a good dog.
You're the best.
You're a good dog.
(I love you)
Yes you are.
Oh, yes you are.

What a good dog.
(Such a good dog)
Yes you are.
What a good dog.
(Such a good dog)
We'll go far.
What a good dog.
(You're such a good dog)
Yes you are.
Oh, yes you are.

Notes:

So uh. Ha ha ha. Hi guys. *stares at hit count* There are, uh...a lot more of you than we expected, but, well. What can we say? They are, truly, Good Dogs. (Also, since it came up before reveals: please feel free to link this wherever! It's nice of people to be concerned, but we don't mind linking this outside of the fannish community. We are thrilled that Matt Nelson/@dog_rates(!!!) and the wider internet has enjoyed it :D)

Fun fact about this song, did you know there are literally entire albums of songs out there that are meant to be listened to by dogs? So like, watch this vid with your dog I guess XD (My dog, Darcy, didn't seem to react to it much, but maybe your dogs will have more entertaining reactions.) The things you can find on the internet, right? ...Also you're welcome for getting this song stuck in your head for the rest of time.

Endless thanks to platinumvampyr for agreeing to do this with me, and backscrolling literally the entire @dog_rates twitter feed back to the beginning in order to pull possible tweets for every section. It was so, so hard narrowing these down y'all. They are all such good dogs ;_____;

This was also a fun technical learning experience for me—I hadn't used After Effects before this vid, and in retrospect I regret not using a higher framerate, but, ah well...we live and learn. (Also the next time I'm like, "yeah, let's do a still source vid in a week, woo!" someone fucking slap me.)

Special shout outs to my roommate forzandopod for being an awesome alpha watcher (and being v good about keeping this secret after it kind of blew up—or, well, mostly XD), salvamisandwich for extremely helpful beta watching, my dog pics text group (redoliphaunt, thefourthvine, & ande) for cheerleading, and @dog_rates, for being an endless source of joy in a cruel and unkind world. &DOGS;
