NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country music hit-maker Lacy J. Dalton is known for her willingness to help others, whether it be teaching songwriting to prisoners, saving wild horses throughout the West or simply rescuing a dog that has become the subject of her holiday favorite, “Carl The Christmas Dog.”
The song and video is based on a true story, however, much like the movies, it’s not meant to be a literal portrayal, and tussles the story with exaggerated humor. Carl did eat the tree, presents and a bunch of other things, but, he did not eat the cat!!
“Carl is not much of a guard dog, but he sure is like my best friend,” says Lacy J. Dalton. In making the video, Dalton adds, “This is quite the departure from many of the previous music videos, but I wanted to just get some friends and keep it fun and simple. So all we did was gather some good friends, Carl (the dog), a phone and a camera. I sure hope it brings some joy to everyone this Christmas season.”
Strictly Country Magazine honored Dalton with multiple 2019 Spirit Awards, one of which included “Carl The Christmas Dog” winning the Spirit Of Christmas award.
