The Puppy Song – The Song

The Puppy Song is a Harry Nilsson song that appeared on his album Harry released in August 1969. Nilsson originally wrote this song at Paul McCartney’s request for Mary Hopkin, an 18-year-old singer that McCartney had signed to Apple Records and whose first album, Post Card would feature her version of Nilsson’s song.  It was popularised by David Cassidy in his double A-side single Daydreamer / The Puppy Song reaching #1 on the UK Singles Chart.

K9 / Doctor Who – The Shape

This Record has been crafted into K9 the robotic dog from the TV show, Dr Who. K9, occasionally written K-9, is the name of several fictional robotic canines (dogs, the name being a pun on the pronunciation of “canine”) in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, first appearing in 1977. K9 has also been a central character in three of the series television spin-offs.

The domestic dog is a domesticated descendant of the wolf. The dog derived from an ancient, extinct wolf, and the modern grey wolf is the dog’s nearest living relative. The dog was the first species to be domesticated, by hunter–gatherers over 15,000 years ago, before the development of agriculture. Their long association with humans has led dogs to be uniquely adapted to human behaviour, leading to a large number of domestic individuals and the ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids.
