  • @CharmedQuarkZ99 I hope Banjo aint in one of these animal prisons!

  • Oh this is great!! I love the video too! 

  • @Michinil thanks Michele! this one makes me cry!

  • I was searching and searching for this one Dan! I wanted to play it for Marley and her friend. They were out on the porch , so I turned it up so they could hear it...then when it was over I went outside and they both were tearing up!! LOL This is a wonderful one Dan!!! I knew they would like it too:)))

  • @Cameragirl803 thanks Jane! the best ones come from the ol ticker. this one makes me cry to. I feel so sad for all animals at the shelter. I wish I could adopt them all.

  • Some good listening here today, I really enjoyed it! :)

    I have two feral cats. Someone brought them into the neighborhood. They were spayed and neutered, but they didn't take to the person's yard who brought them in. So I ended up with them whether I liked it or not, hehe. They are wonderful cats. They still won't let you pet them, but they have gotten to where they'll let me sit near them. I feed them everyday and give them shelter. They're doing really good. Janet

  • Enjoyable. It's the sort of song that should have been in "The littlest hobo" :)

  • @jeffstunes Thanks Jeff! I`ll have to check out the littlest Hobo!

  • Kathy sent me this which reminded me of that ad I may have mentioned to you in an early comment. I'll send it to you privately because although it is kind and funny it detracts from the thoughts of this video.

    Geoff

  • @geoff1945 thanks! I know some of the pictures has a stamp or ID tag. I`ll probably get my channel cancelled because of it. the one that says stock photo. I didnt notice that tell it was to late. Im not good with PM`s. I get so many spam messages I stopped even checking. SO if I missed your Message Im sorry

  • @coolanddark - No I'm sorry Dan. I hadn't sent the message to you but to the person who shared your vid with me. I know what you mean about those 'Stock photos' Sometimes you don't see the watermark until its enlarged on the vid.

    Heck though, its free advertising for them! Funnily. that is the very subject of the video I want to show you. Watching your beautiful video, I could believe you could have written the one I am sending you.

  • What a lovely song, well done ;o)

    Mark....

  • Great song Dan!! I Shared this on Facebook..I have a Neice Downsouth Into Animal Rescue...

  • @carlguage Thanks Carl! Im honored you put this on Facebook! Thanks!

  • Thank you dear friend Dan for your beautiful song of this sad slideshow, people who abandon their pets should be severely punished by a prison sentence, all the world's governments should not treat pets (dogs and cats) as objects we take and chips when we need it most, these people must pay !

    I hope there will be plenty of pet adoption in 2011, and there will be fewer abandoned pets !

    You have a big ♥

    A big HUG for you and Molly >:D<

    Rosy

  • @Roselyne18 Thank you Rosy! I think there needs to be more stringent laws regarding animal cruelty which includes abandonment to! Big hugs to you and your Cats from me and Molly!

  • @coolanddark Thank you Dan and Molly ♥ I Shared on my profile page of Facebook (Roselyne Janaillac)

  • @Roselyne18 THanks for the feature on facebook Rosy! One more hug from Molly and me!

  • Dan~

    So cool a song, sadly the dark is when they are left alone~Your big heart is somethin' that we can "not" notice. Your heart is as big as it gets~God Bless~

    TRG

    May many seek that"special" friend

  • @TheRealGroffy Thanks My Friend! Yes when the sun goes down and the lights are turned off and they lock the doors and are left alone for the night. Thats got to be the toughest part. Thanks for your nice comment!

  • Good God Dan! Why are you not famous for the wonderful songs you write. I think the Humane Society would love to hear this and use it in their ads. I have investigated a fire in the Seattle Humane society building seen in the opening scenes. As an owner of three dogs and numerous ferrel cats I ama definite died in the wool animal lover. This really speaks to my heart. Hope it inspires someone to do the right thing and take in a homeless dog/cat.

  • @FiremanOly Thanks Steve! Its a lot of fun making up these sad songs! I hope that wasnt arson at that shelter! there are a lot of freaks in the world who get their jollys torturing animals. Thanks Steve! Great job on the first of May! WOW!

  • My My Dan!!! You have once again outdone yourself.

    What a beautiful song!!

    I worked in an animal hospital for a few years when I was in my late teens early twenties.

    And it always (still) broke my heart when people would abandon animals there.

    I ended up with more than a few Kitties back then!! What an incredible song Dan. You have one gigantic heart my friend!!

  • @MonkeylessJohn Thanks John! Its got to be heartbreaking working in an animal shelter. But also gratifying knowing that your helping the animals! I cry like a baby everytime I visit one! Thanks John!

  • Wow, how in the world do you manage to come up with such consistently great stuff?! Super song that you might want to share with your local rescue shelter.  I think they could use it as their next public service announcement. Spent some part of the holidays with a beautiful German Sheppard that was a rescue dog. A little skittish, but what a darling. She just wanted to be loved. Don't we all. Peace, brother. ~ Mark

  • @manriq47 Thanks Mark! Im not sure where these songs come from but this one came real fast! Im to embarrased to take this song to the shelter but I hope they hear it. Germain Sheppards are great Dogs! SMART! Great watch Dogs and police Dogs to! Thanks for your great comment!

  • Dan.... Suze posted this on her facebook, I had a listen, and came by to tell ya, we just lost our family dog of 14 years and Gidget was from the pound, she was hands down the best dog I`ve ever owned... Great song bro!! & somebody threw a bucket a water at me while I was listenin :O)

  • @canajian Im sorry to hear about the loss of your Dog Gerry. Losing a Pet can be almost as devastating as losing a Human. Thanks to Suze for posting this on Facebook! I hope you get another Dog real soon!

  • Excellent

    Reminds me of ray stevens

  • @bigeeezy Thanks! I got to check out Ray Stevens! I appreciate it!

  • Great Song!!

  • @Carlfgauge Thanks again Carl! I appreciate that!

  • Oh Dan.... I'm crying like a baby here. That's a beautiful song my friend!

    My heart goes out to all the animals. And they are better friends than we could ever deserve. I love this! NAncy

  • @nllleonard Thanks Nancy! I hope all those Dogs and Cats find a warm and happy home real soon! Thank you Nancy!

  • The best songs are simple and appeal to the heart in ways that are difficult to describe. Once again, you have written such a song and this time it's about something that my life stands for: Kindness to animals. God bless you, Dan, you're just wonderful! Suze

  • @suuzzee5 Thanks Suze! Your are so right! they usually come fast to! One cant walk into an animal shelter and not feel their heart drop to the floor. Fortunately many of them get adopted and find happy homes! God Bless Suze!

  • Great song Dan... I mean really great! There is not enough awareness when it comes to these little souls locked up for merely being alive without a human.  No crime committed but prisoners none the less. I'll never forget when I went to rescue one... the chamber was visible and apparently they suck the air out until the dog not picked suffocates and dies. The bastard picked the dog up by the scruff of the neck and threw him in. I'm still sick after all these years thinking about it.

    Rolland

  • @rbheiss Rolland Thanks! Your incredible song about the Dog you adopted was an inspriration for this song! your song is still one of my all time favs. I would be honored if you video responsed it here! So others can hear your song! Your a grear songwriter!

  • oohohh oh..i cannot stress how truly great this is! i didnt have enough room to say it all, and sometimes i cant find the right words..ur pictures all lined up absolutley perfect with ur lyrics, and the story u told just had me in absolute tears, and that ending and goodnite maggie, goodnight rex....tomorow.....so very touching..i dont know how u do this so easy...so perfect..always see the story u tell! really loved this lil stinker! hugs!

  • @justcallmethelma Thanks again Kathy!Im glad you liked it! Great job on Billy Joe!

  • @coolanddark oh haha..i listend atleast 4 times prob.....and i do too still wuv u budddy!!!!! but u go to sleeep now...sweet dreams dont let molly bite!

  • Beautiful,Dan.

  • @div47 Thank you kindly!

  • oooooooooh i am loving this dan!! and i had to pause it cus i was already going back and forth between how sadly beautiful and smiling...when u did the bark bark bark, and a lil chuckle, but before u even chuckled, i let out the hugest loudest laugh cus that was so cute "bark bark bark"and those sad puppy eyes &molly meowing in background and those words of yours and that sound of yours...oooooooooh how beautiful..so sad though!oooh tearss!! u told/sang/wrote/played this so great!

  • @justcallmethelma Im glad you got your computer out of the shop! Amazing how you catch everything in the song! Molly meowing and scratching the computer while I was recording! I was going to do it over but then I remembered she herself is a shelter Cat! Couldnt help but giggle on the bark bark bark line. couldnt think of anything else that rhymed! Lol. Thanks stinker!

  • Beautiful song Dan, I wish I could rescue all the Dogs and Cats in those shelters

    Rocket

  • @Ottawarocket Hey Rob! Thanks! I wish all those furry critters can find a new home to!

  • Incredible !!....man Dan...you sure know what you're doing man...That was A1 stuff right there !!...yeah...I always feel sad when those commercials come on...and admittedly I usually change the channel...I can just hear this song being played over one of them commercials...probably get alot more adoptions that way...VERY cool Dan !!! Have a GREAT NEW YEAAR my friend !!!

  • @Eddie629 Thanks Eddie! I have to admit it was heartwrenching putting all these pictures together of shelter dogs to this song! Theres a tear in my bear tonight for all those furry critters! Sob

  • You never cease to amaze Dan, such incredible songs and performances about a wide variety of subjects, and every one is a gem.. I have some friends on facebook who are big time animal lovers, mind if I post this there?

  • @jugnutgut thanks Rob! I am honored if you post this on facebook! I read today that site is worth $50 billion! thanks for all your support of songwritres! You write some great lyrics yourself! Thanks my friend!

  • It is always so heartwrenching to walk thru the shelters and looking into all those big brown eyes looking back at you with pleading anticipation. As I watch this, "Levi" is curled up in the armchair next to me, "Emma" is chewing up a toy on the floor, " Molly" and "Evie" are in the kitchen observing my wife at the stove and "Mandy" the cat is who knows where. Hopefully this song will encourage someone to bring a little love into their home. Peace!!! Tom

  • @trshev Thanks Tom! I try to visit the dogs and cats in the shelter whenever I can. Its so sad but they need love to. I have a cat named Molly to! Such a good kitty kitty!

  • Oh, Dan that was amazing. This should be given coverage on television for shelter dogs. Those words and that tune are heart-catching.

    We have a T.V. as running here at the present which takes place in a dog shelter and says, 'It pays to advertise'. A clever little mongrel makes its own visual presentation at the end of which it is sitting there with a packed suitcase at its side.

  • @geoff1945 Thanks Geoff! My wish is that all those furry critters get new homes to! Happy new year and thanks for your great comment!

  • You have the biggest heart! What an amazing story teller you are! Sarah McLachlan should see this. What a great great subject that was yearning for a song....and man did you deliver! PERFECTION!!

  • @eighthavenue Thanks Mike! Im a big softy for our animal friends I have to admit. I hope your having a happy new year!

  • Say There

    Dan...

    The powerful gift of unconditional love that our fur friends provide for us is expressed so elegantly and without false pretense here in your heartwarming original work.

    Thanks & Pax,

    Max

  • @misterstewball thanks Max! One day there will be no homeless animals or humans up in that grreat glory land! Thank you my friend!

  • This is soo fantastic, Dan! Made me happy and sad at the same time! great great song and way cool video!

    hugs

    dona'
