If I didn't already have a sparkly and cheerful video lined up last Monday morning, I totally would have posted this video from British singer Nat Johnson. It's for the song "Dog" from Johnson's forthcoming album Neighbour of the Year, and if this doesn't end up on the inevitable tweaking/re-release of Putumayo's Animal Playground, then somebody (could be them, could be me) isn't doing their job right. The gentle folk tune nails the desire for pet companionship, as do Fettle Animation's felt-ish drawings. (And if you can't wait for the album, buy the single here or on iTunes.)
