Even dogs love to sing.
But this particular puppy named Peanut loves to sing the national anthem every weekday morning when it comes on the TV!
“She will wake us up at 4:30 in the morning singing!” Peanut’s mom, Rebecca Fourroux, said. “Every morning at 4:30.”
The national anthem began airing in 2019 before the first newscast of the day and before Peanut was born. For KKTV which is owned by Gray Television, that’s the 4:30 a.m. edition of 11 News This Morning.
The adorable Yorkshire Terrier and Shih Tzu mix was born in the summer of 2022, and Rebecca adopted her several weeks later. And just three months ago, Peanut showed her talent to the household.
“She sleeps with me at night and my TV just stays on the news, and I got woke up to her howling at 4:30 in the morning,” Fourroux said. “And I didn’t know why! I replayed it back to her and she started howling again.”
Next thing you know, a daily ritual was born.
Peanut loves to sing, Fourroux said, but only to the national anthem that plays before the weekday morning newscast.
“Nothing but that song. We’ll play anything and she won’t do nothing,” Fourroux described. “It’s only that song!”
It's no wonder she only likes to sing the national anthem because she was born on the day it is sung.
“She was born on the Fourth of July, so it just makes sense!” Fourroux said.
“If she comes upstairs and she hears it, she comes upstairs and she sings it upstairs,” Fourroux added.
Fourroux has no idea why she only likes the version from KKTV.
“I’ve tried Apple Music to get different national anthems. My mom watches football, and when they do it, nothing,” Fourroux said. “It’s only that girl who sings at the beginning!”
It’s a strange wakeup call, but Fourroux said her family wouldn’t have it any other way, even her teen sons.
“They think it’s so cute! We all just love it! Now it’s part of her personality,” she said.
Fourroux is expecting a baby girl in February, and she is certain that her girl will enjoy Peanut’s singing just as much!
Even Peanuts actual parents are proud of their offspring's talent.
“The lady that I got her from, I actually sent it to her and she still has Peanut’s mom and dad,” Fourroux said. “She showed them, and she said it was so cute watching them. It was like they knew it was their daughter.”
Peanut gets a break from the National News when she is tired, but Fourroux said she’s grown so used to Peanut’s singing that she tends to just start her days earlier now.
“I’ll keep the TV off if I want to sleep!” Fourroux laughed.
