The song "Seamus", from the album "Meddle", was of course used for the credits of the movie Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, a Tom Stoppard masterpiece. Love the movie. Love the song.

do you suppose the harmonica hurts her ears?
I think Nitty Gritty Dirt Band had a dog in one of their songs, too.
I seem to recall it was Uncle Charlie and his dog Teddy.

Seamus was Steve Marriott's dog and also sang on the Small Faces' "The Universal". Unlike many rock vocalists, he could lick his own genitals.
