The Dog in Chris Lane’s “What Am I Supposed To Tell The Dog” Music Video – And More!

“We stayed together for the kids!” Some relationships remain in tact for the sake of other people. But what happens to the dog when a couple splits? It’s this question, and the dog himself, that’s the theme of Chris Lane’s new music video unmysteriously titled, “What Am I Supposed To Tell The Dog”… and it’s as country as country gets, isn’t it? Reminiscent of other canine-centered country songs like Blake Shelton’s “Ol’ Red,” “Feed Jake,” (Pirates of the Mississippi), Carrie Underwood’s “The More Boys I Meet,” and many more, Chris Lane has an old-fashioned hit on his paws. Plus, the video has fans wagging their tales because of Logan (@TriStar_Tollers), the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever who, quite frankly, steals the show. Plus, he’s already met Dolly Parton? You lucky dog!


What are you supposed to tell your dog? That’s easy. Tell him he’s a good boy, that’s what! Check out Logan and Chris Lane in the video then scroll down for more…


The Song. Doesn’t it remind you of classic country music, like songs from the 90s and early 2000s? The song was written by a pack of dog lovers (they must be, right!?): Chris Lane, Jameson Rodgers, Lydia Vaughn, and Seth Mosley. This modern throwback to traditional country composition is so refreshing. Maybe the pendulum is finally swinging away from whatever 2010s country was (bro-country, boyfriend country, trap country, etc) and back to breakups, dogs… actual storytelling.

Here are a few behind the scenes clips featuring Logan the dog.
