ay caramba! golden retriever merengue

If you need a little jolt of laughter today (and I mean, who doesn’t, it’s a Tuesday that feels like Thursday), I think this video of a golden retriever dancing the merengue will do the trick.  I would cry ‘animal abuse’ but he (she?) really seems to enjoy twirling around in what appears to be a recycled Ice Capades costume.

Look at that hip-shaking action! From :51 on is basically better than anything I’ve ever seen in an LA dance class.  I’m pretty sure this dog could sweep every last one of the new Dancing With The Stars contestants I heard announced on the radio this morning. Bristol Palin and Mrs. Brady have nothing on this perro, as he’s backing it up better than Beyonce.
