Album Notes

"We Woof You A Merry Christmas" is a 45-minute Christmas album, performed by The Guide Dog Glee Club.
Veronica Elsea has created these unbelievable renditions of sixteen beloved Christmas songs by recording her and her twin sister's guide dogs at play, then rearranging their words and phrases. Over the past fifteen years, Veronica accumulated 513 useful sounds which she arranged and combined to create this recording. No other instruments, humans or animals appear on this CD! Every sound you hear is a direct quote from a dog! Yes, the bass, the chords, the melody, the beautiful four-part harmony---dogs! Dogs! Only dogs!! You hear everything just as the dogs presented it, no pitch alterations or other processing---just raw dog. But it's in tune; it's beautiful, moving and really fun!

Response to this CD has been tremendous. Human comments have included, "I've never laughed so hard in my life!" "Oh, I can just picture the choir standing there singing this!" "I've never heard anything like this; I can't believe these are just dogs!" "It sounds like the dogs are actually saying words!" "Wow, what nice harmony!" "I never thought singing dogs would move me to tears!"… and more!
Dogs have stared at speakers, barked along, and pestered their humans to remind Santa of all the good things they've done this year.

This is real Christmas!
