In a bid to promote the adoption and humane treatment of pets, Patti Page has recorded a new version of her 1953 hit, "Doggie in the Window." The veteran pop star, who will turn 81 on Nov. 8, is contributing the song to the Humane Society of the United States for use in its campaigns to save and care for homeless animals and stamp out inhumane "puppy mills."
New lyrics for the familiar tune were written by Page's publicist, Sanford Brokaw, and Chris Gantry, composer of the 1968 Glen Campbell classic, "Dreams of the Everyday Housewife." The revised song will be used in public service announcements and can be downloaded from the Humane Society Web site.
Currently celebrating her 65th year in show business, Page will release a new album, Best Country Songs, on Nov. 22. Her autobiography, This Is My Song, is due out in January. 11-13-08. http://misspattipage.com/

"Do You See That Doggie in the Shelter"
Do you see that doggie in the shelter
the one with the take me home eyes
If you give him love and attention
he will be your best friend for life
In each town and city across the nation,
In each town and city across the nation,
there's so many dogs with no home
Hungry with no one to protect them
lost is this world all alone
Chorus
Collies and beagles by the roadside
Chorus
Collies and beagles by the roadside
puppies and dogs in the street
Once they are rescued by a shelter
they'll finally have something to eat
Doggies and kitties who are homeless
Doggies and kitties who are homeless
with sad eyes and tails hanging down
Let's do what we can to show them kindness
and let them know they've been found
Chorus
Chorus
