Basil Opera Singing Scotty Dog

[OpaqueDragon4]

I remember seeing Basil on the T.V :D He is so cute ;3

[drm2b1]

precious

[singa2n]

I just saw this video featured on the BBC Graham Norton Show which had Harry Connick Jr., Catherine Jenkins and Ben Brydon. The had one with a German Shepherd howling to Ave Maria, and an aristocratic looking Great Dane titled "Dog Sings Opera" in another. Then they had this one with Basil the Opera Singing Scotty Dog from Canada. Catherine Jenkins sang a bit of O Mio Babbino Caro, and Basil howled along over Skype.  Hilarious!

[Probablyacowtbh]

Beats the X-Factor crowd, I'd say. *grin*

[CorgiiTube]

My scotty Angus used to howl along to classical music a long time ago <3 Sadly he is now deaf, but he's still a spunky little scotty :)

[LittleSweetyOliver]

Ooooh like my westie! <3

Basil, I love you! You are so adorable and talented!

[QueenShnoogleberry]

OMG!!!! I want a singing Scotty! I had a Scotty growing up, but he was nowhere NEAR this talented!!!

[librarianscales]

Scottie singing Maria Callas= TOO CUTE FOR WORDS. X

[pennyboyt189]

i will try and put a vid on youtube and i will send you a link lol .

[Monkeyslash]

Hahahahaha....brilliant. Saw Basil on BBC.

I also have a Scottie called Basil!

[ScottishTerrierNews]

Bravo, Basil! So glad to see the non-Scottie world recognizing your talents. We're glad to have known you way back when.

Don't forget the Scottish Terrier and Dog News now that you're a star singing duets with Katherine Jenkins.

[Pentan797]

Haha! I saw the show last night here in England, Basil was perfect! Such funny timing! :) xxxx

[salm37]

I have one named tramp they are all the same in personality

[DivaDeb1234]

That dog has a little talent...!

[fraufoote]

aw so cute

[karopi26]

Love it! I also have to Scotish.. Probablly the most inteligent dogs in the planet...I am sure that if Maria Callas was alive she will love to sing with him!!! Excelent duet!

[chocolatiere2008]

Truly an American Idol candidate!

Nothin' like a singing and talking Scottie!

[eddy4missy]

:)) un grande cane

[j011e]

I have a scottish terrier too, his name is koks :P anyway cute dog :)

[Dunc77777]

scotties r cute:p

[weezilgirl]

the reason his ears and tail look "big and long" is because he isn't trimmed. he will look much different when his hair is cut.

[goldandcurls]

Probably the sweetest thing I've ever seen and heard. What song is that, btw? I've heard it before.

[lochness11]

One Fine Day from Madam Butterfly,sung by Maria Callas.

[Taekwondownage]

What a cute boy... Such long ears and tail... for a scottie! Very good singing voice.

[Suesuetube]

Ah, such tone, such dedication to the emotion and almost on key. This tenor puts my Bella to shame.

[titaniccharlie1394]

I have a Scottie dog too, she gets into the funniest messes.

[loopyloo22991]

I have a scottish terrier but he likes to sing to who let the dogs out lol xx

[librarianscales]

This is the most adorable dog I have ever seen in my life!!! He has melted my heart into a pile of soppy mush. Maria Callas would be proud. Unless you believe in reincarnation, and... ha ha xx

[paintspill]

That is great that your dog and you have the same taste in music.

[1wuffy]

Sweet. Such a sensitive interpretation .

[lochness11]

I think you've been taking too many walks, and vacations this past summer! The intrusive H's are not yet completely eliminated. Is fame going to your head? "Must work harder"! The world awaits with bated breath.

[ScottishTerrierNews]

A true conoisseur! We are featuring him at the Scottish Terrier and Dog News.

[blueangelbennett]

Adorable!!!

[Williepe]

Two of my favorite things! Callas and Scotties!! Adorable.

[Justcuz7]

This is hilarious!

What a great little personality this guy has!

[skinnerboyz]

The next stop is the Met! This is awesome. I would give anything to hear my Scottie bark. He has not barked in years. A vow of silence? Who knows what's going on with him.

[lochness11]

Basil, I told you tenors don't wag their tails. You're needing to attend an Elisabeth Schwarzkopf Masterclass. She'll sort you out. Make no bones about it.

[1jennilynn]

Wow he has really good taste in music!

[bossily]

how cute!

[Link742]

my scottie doesn't sing becuase my mom listens to opera alot so he's used to it:-( I wish he would tho that is SOOOOOO cute!!

[lochness11]

Do I detect a few intrusive H's? Basil, work hard on their elimination, and you will have the major opera houses begging you to appear. A new Callas. Shocked the musical world initially with her unique voice and technique. Go for it boy!

[richasrd]

Every living entity must love and enjoy Maria Callas' singing. I think a plant would grow faster and stay healthier if you played Maria Callas albums next to it.

[xeasternxz]

I hope all this appreciation and admiration doesn't go to Basil's head.

[Energyplan]

My scottie has never howled but is learning thanks to this educational video.

[ecosse99]

Never seen a tenor wag his tail before!

[cutecookiecj]

What a good singer.  Very cute video.

[PepperLily]

He's beautiful, a pleasure to watch. Sweet boy.

[ecosse99]

Are you suggesting Basil is a member of the Renata Tebaldi claque, which used to noisily boo and howl abuse at Callas from the top rear balcony(the VERY cheap seats) almost nightly at La Scala? In my humble opinion I believe Basil is merely practising to be Callas's Lieutenant Pinkerton. He is a gifted tenor, and the world awaits.

[minichrismeister]

can't u hear.. he is saying boooo.. he hates the opera

[madwal]

aww i wish my scottie would do that!!

[ecosse99]

Your scottie recognises a great Butterfly.(Callas). Send him to Masterclasses.

[Glenmed]

Several notes almost right - and a passable diminuendo towards the end!

[ecosse99]

Poor little Butterfly. Scottie must be a Renata Tebaldi fan! LOL.

[lifeinantarctica]

this is the most adorable thing i've ever seen--a scottish terrier who appreciates opera. especially with his/her red collar, s/he looks just like my scottie.

[1JOE4U]

I hope my puppy learns to do that!

[tikrasbildukas]

very true! :))

[BigFlipFlap]

our scottish terrier doesn't howl,he is silent.The only thing he does is tear toys apart all day.

[BigFlipFlap]

I wish my scottish terrier can do that, all what my scottish terrier does is tear toys apart all day.

[dryw]

Our scottie howls like that to the answer phone

[SirBills]

This is to funny.
