Dear Ann Landers,
am writing to tell you about my four amazing dogs. They play the piano. Ginger is an apricot toy poodle who plays "Tea for Two" with her right paw. Pepper, another poodle, can play the C-major scale with his right paw. He also sings while I play the harmonica. Rusty, who is Pepper and Ginger's pup, plays the pentatonic scale with his left paw, and Gigi, an apricot toy poodle, plays the C-major scale. These dogs do several other tricks and have been entertaining peo-ple in nursing homes, in schools and at private parties for several years. I have tried to get them on national television, but I guess I just don't know the right people. To my knowledge, they are the only piano-playing dogs alive. Can you suggest a way to get them a bigger audience? -John Buby, Tallahassee, Fla.
Dear John,
I do not book animal acts, but maybe I can help by printing your letter. Perhaps Johnny Carson or David Letterman or Arsenio Hall might be interested. If you're in the phone book, John, maybe you'll get a call. Good luck.
