Sung to the tune of Hey Jude
Hey Dude, please don’t be sad
Turns out your not, an Irish Setter
Tuesday’s tails will do their part
And do our best to make it better
Hey Dude, don’t be afraid
You were made to be loved unfettered
Someone out there will find their way through the din
Then you’ll become their kin and your life will be better
And any time you feel a tiny bit sad, Hey Dude, it’s rad
We’re trying to make it better
Dude is at Manchester, CT animal control (860) 645-5516
From his Petfinder page:
Dude is a sweet laid back guy. Isn’t he handsome! He has obviously has been taught some manners in his life. He’s not too bad on a leash, and he’s not a jumper. Dude knows how to sit, and likes to run after the ball. We guess he is 2-3 years old. Dude would make a great addition to any family, we suspect that he will be good with other pets.
He is listed as an American Staffordshire Terrier/Pit Bull Mix.
This is Tuesday’s Tails blog hop hosted by Dogs N Pawz. It’s also the day I beg you to share this post on your social media networks.
Many thanks to Lisa at Dogs N Pawz for Tuesday’s Tails, the blog hop that focuses on helping shelter animals find their forever homes.
Working together, we really can make a difference!!

He is beautiful! Love your song. You are so creative! Sharing.
Great lyrics! Hope he finds his furever home soon!
Ear worm!!!
I hope Dude finds a home soon.
As Leo says, earworm! Lovely though and all best wishes for finding Dude a home.
Miss Jodi, I had no idea you were such a talented lyricist! *paws crossed* that Dude will find a loving home real soon!
He looks just like a dog that some woman dumped in front of my parent’s home several years ago. Very well mannered and healthy. They kept him until the neighborhood children fell in love with him and asked if he could live with them. They had many happy years together. The woman who dumped him will never know what she missed out on.
Hope Dude finds a new home soon!! Sounds like a pretty great fella!
All you need now is a musician to put your lyrics to musical notes notes and you can become a team like Hoagy Carmichael and Johnny Mercer! (No, I’m not dating myself, I just like a lot of the music my parents listened to in the 40’s!)
I hope Dude gets his fur-ever home soon! With a song like yours dedicated to him, how can he miss?! 🙂
Geez, this freakin auto-correct is gonna drive me to drink! I deleted the second”notes” and it adds it back in. GRRRRRRRR!
Dude is quite the handsome… errr… dude! He sounds like he’s going to make someone quite the companion!
Love the clever song you wrote for him! Will definitely share this awesome guy!
That was awesome Jodi! Your so clever! Hope he finds a home, he sure is handsome.
Great lyrics Jodi! Hope Dude finds a good home soon!
THAT is a super song fur DUDE !
I wonder if having his own song will make Dude more adoptable. Maybe you should record it and send it on to the shelter? 🙂
You ARE handsome! I hope you find your forever home real soon.
Hope he finds a good home!
How could I NOT share him? And I will have that theme song stuck in my head until bedtime!
I love the song! Shared him with hopes he finds a good home soon!
