Dear Ann Landers,
know people write to you with all kinds of questions, so I wasn't surprised when that man from Tallahassee asked you to help him get an agent for his dog act. I remember he has some apricot toy poodles named Ginger, Gigi and Pepper, and they play the piano. He said they are the only piano-playing dogs in the world, which I can believe. You told him that booking animal acts was not your line of work and suggested that maybe Johnny Carson or David Letterman might give him a break. Within a few days, those very same poodles appeared on a TV show (not the shows you mentioned) and performed very well. I'll bet they get some bookings. Since you helped that guy, maybe you can do something for me. I have a couple of wire-haired terriers that sing. I play tunes on the fid-dle like "Sioux City Sue" and "How Come You Do Me Like You Do Do Do," and the dogs harmonize like the Supremes. Everybody de-serves one big break in life, and this could be mine. How about it, Annie old girl? -Longtime Admirer in Arlington Heights, 111.

Dear Admirer,
Since that column appeared, "Annie Old Girl" has heard from a woman in Phoenix who has a horse that does multiplica-tion tables, a man in Fort Worth whose three cats do ballet numbers, and a woman in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with a parrot that can swear in five languages. Please, folks, no more letters about your talented pets. I am sure they are all wonderful, but I can't help you. But still they come. Dear Ann: I don't see anything so unusual about a dog who sings. We have a pet squirrel who plays the drums. We started out to teach him by letting him pound the drums with a nut in each paw. Now he doesn't even need the nuts. He just pounds away, and his sense of rhythm is as good as some professionals. -Pittsburgh
