Doggone - #16 Blaugust 2026
I don't consider myself a dog person. Or maybe even a pet person in general. Nevertheless, pets are apart of everyday life and it's common to interact with them even if they aren't yours. How does that relate to a song? Well, when a dog has it's own song of course!
Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison
After college I got into an apartment with some of my friends. It was a duplex (I lived downstairs), but we all knew each other so we'd float to and from interchangably. Absolute bachelor house, but in those carefree days it was great. One of my friends upstairs eventually got a dog and named him Mac. Occasionally, my friend would need to go out of town for work and he asked my roommate to take care of the dog while he was gone. My roommate would always play this song after moving the dog downstairs to keep an eye on him. Mac would mope around until his owner returned days later. Sadly, he's no longer around, but I'l always think of him when hearing his song.
