Dancing Dog Can Salsa Way Better Than You Can (VIDEO)

***UPDATE*** A reader writes in and says the song is not salsa but merengue, and is "El Baila del Perrito," by Wilfrido Vargas. Can another reader confirm?

You rarely know what's going to turn up on one of those wacky Spanish talk shows, but in no way were we expecting this. This man has trained his dog to dance, and we mean really dance. As the caption on Live Leak's website puts it, "this dog dances better than you."

The pair, getting down to a festive salsa (we think) track, incorporates spins and even a lift and through the legs maneuver. Somebody get this pooch a plane ticket. Hollywood is calling.

This dog is a better dancer, far cuter, AND not a lying, hateful Republican­, like Tom DeLay!

This is definitely the Merengue, not Salsa. But that dog rocks all the same.

I loved that! The dog was obviously very happy dancing! Now if I could just get my jack russell to sit! She always reminds me that she is already "down" here......­.
