Thread Name: Songs for dog memorial service?
Subject: RE: Song(s) for dog memorial service?
Did the dog have a favorite song?

I'm not kidding. Our old dog loved "Happy Birthday"--he would get all excited and howl like crazy--so my parents sang that for him before they had to have him put down. Not very funereal but it was what Ootek would most have liked had he been in any shape to enjoy it.

I once had to help sing "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" to a dead cocker spaniel when I was a vet tech. I don't know that the dog was a music lover but it was a special song to the owner.
