The singer wants to buy the dog for her <i>boyfriend</i> while she gads around sunny California? To protect him from burglars. Right, "burglars." Wilbur should have picked up a puppy for Iris before he took off for South America.

As for the opening number, I am old enough to remember “Doggie In The Window” (I think it was top of the charts when I was about five), but the video was amazingly bizarre. From her black fur stole to the random child to the seriously sedated cocker spaniel pup, it represents the 1950s on steroids.
