The Westminster Kennel Club dog show is underway with the Hound, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding categories already crowned. Today will feature the Sporting, Working and Terrier groups and the Best of Show winner will also be announced.

In honor of this fancy affair, along with Fetch, the app that John Moe showed us this morning that tells you what breed of dog you look like, let's focus the music on our canine friends this morning.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention dogs?

And spoiler alert! As we play the artists we'll let you know what dog Fetch says they look like.

Songs played


I Wanna Be Your Dog - Stooges
Dog Days Are Over - Florence and the Machine
Hound Dog - Elvis
Me and My Arrow - Nilsson
Hounds of Love - Kate Bush
Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog - Johnny Cash
Atomic Dog - George Clinton

Do you deserve a Coffee Break? We at The Current's Morning Show think you do, and we want to bring coffee and treats from Peace Coffee and Glam Doll Donuts to your workplace. In addition, we'll bring along local artist Eric Mayson to perform a couple of songs for you and your coworkers. Let us know why you'd like a Coffee Break - or request your own idea for a future topic.
