This is the story accompanying the above video shared on Facebook in October and found by Mindy for me last week:

I was told a neighbor complained about the dog being left home alone when I received it . The guy set up a nanny cam. This is what the dog was doing. A friend sent me this and I couldnt stop laughing. Thank you everyone that has liked this video.I have no idea whos’ dog this is, or where I got this video, but I loved it and Im glad so many of you do too. Its been shared over 41 thousand times at this point.

I smell a potential urban legend in the backstory! Lots of dogs like to play a keyboard and howl along – it’s a fairly common party trick, no need to put in a nanny cam to catch it if it’s something the dog gets approval for doing.

With some digging around, I found the original upload to YouTube from 2010. As I suspected, no nanny cam required:

Tucker, our one and a half year old Schnoodle, plays the piano and sings along at least 3 or 4 times every day. In spite of all of his practicing, he really isn’t getting any better at it.

So there you go.
