Just like people, dogs have many talents.
They can perform tricks on command and sometimes seem to understand our every word.
Best of all, many dogs have the ability to know just when we need their snuggles.
But it is their hidden talents that can surprise you most of all.
A case in point is when a little Chihuahua proved he could sing, which he did on an episode of America’s Got Talent.
Chihuahuas are known for their attitudes in addition to being great lap dogs.
In many cases, a Chihuahua will have a favorite person that they prefer in their household.
In Casper’s case, it is his mom Pam.
Both Casper and Pam appeared on an episode of the hit show America’s Got Talent.
America’s Got Talent is a variety show where talented people, sometimes with their animals, compete for a $1 million prize at the end of the season.
Overseen by a panel of four judges, competitors on the show must show their talent in an attempt to get the votes of the judges to pass on to the next round.
Casper had a hidden talent that was revealed during their performance.
For Pam and Casper, their talent was in the form of singing.
But according to Pam, Casper has not always been known for his singing chops.
“As a puppy, he had no voice,” she told the four-judge panel.
“He would squeak and squawk. The weirdest little noises would come out of him. And then one day like a year later I was playing guitar and singing and all of a sudden this noise came out of him.”
The judges then shared their experiences with the Chihuahua breed.
Finally, it was time for Pam and Casper to perform.
As the music started, the familiar tune of “All By Myself” by Celine Dion began to play.
Judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Simon Cowell looked on, not knowing what to expect from the duo.
Before beginning, Pam told Casper to only come in on the chorus.
As Pam sang through the lyrics of the song, Casper watched obediently, waiting for his time to break in.
Finally, it was time.
As the chorus began, Casper belted out a howl as he sang along.
At first, it sounds like he is simply screaming, but eventually, you can kind of make out that the talented dog is actually singing.
Once they were done, the two got a standing ovation from the judges.
They also ended up getting four votes and moved on to the next round.
The judges had a lot to say about Casper’s singing, with Simon in particular impressed by the tiny dog’s abilities.
“It did cross my mind, ‘Should Casper go solo?’ Okay, look, you weren’t great, Pam, but he was,” Cowell said in typical Simon Cowell fashion. “[At first] I thought he was screaming, and then amazingly he did actually start to sing. I mean, that is unbelievable, genuinely.”
The video of their performance has garnered over 10 million views, with many viewers leaving comments expressing their delight.
One viewer commented, “This cracks me up! ADORABLE!”
She continued, “I also have a Chihuahua and while he doesn’t howl or sing, he does love to just make noise now that he’s found his voice box.”
It turns out Casper is quite the entertaining talent.
