Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett were howling when they performed live at The GRAMMYs! Congrats to the two music household names and animal lovers that collaborated on the jazz album, titled CHEEK TO CHEEK, which won the big treat at the 57th GRAMMYs – “Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album”!
Lady Gaga added another little furry monster to her animal crew recently, a French bulldog she named Asia. Gaga may be trying to fill a heartfelt void since her family dog that she grew up with Alice, passed away from canine cancer.
Lady Gaga posted a photo of her pup Asia on her social media platform saying; “Me and my BATPIG #partbat #partpig.”
Asia will be joining Gaga’s furry monster family consisting of her other dog Fozzi, an adorable Cockapoo (a designer cross breed of American Cocker Spaniel with a Toy Poodle).
Tony Bennett adores his dog! He shared his initial reaction to seeing the little Maltese he calls “Boo” in the window of a Madison Avenue pet shop years ago. “I just said, ‘I’m going to get this dog!.’”
Boo caught Bennett’s eyes immediately as he was driving by in a taxi cab. “She was a tiny little puppy and so cute. Of all the Maltese I’ve ever seen she had this extra…” Bennett can’t find the right word to describe that certain something that drew him to Boo. “Her eyes are warm and kind,” he says in an attempt to describe Boo’s allure. “She had that thing that certain performers have where you say – that guy has really got it. She had ‘it’. It’s hard to define.”
Boo received her name because Bennett found her around Halloween, but there is nothing scary about the canine. “She has been a blessing,” says Bennett, “because she is the most lovable. She is so kind and sweet and she hasn’t got one mean bone in her body.”
Surely Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett have spent many a day singing CHEEK TO CHEEK with their dogs!
