The dog, named Carrie, is actually headed to Los Angeles this week. She's just been added to the participating talent at the 14th Annual Los Angeles Salsa Congress, a music, dance, and entertainment event happening May 24-27 at the Westin Bonaventure in Downtown.
Concert performances will include GRAMMY®award-winning stars, including: Oscar D’León, Luis Enrique, El Gran Combo, Jenny Colon, Sexteto New Swing y Johnny Polanco, and many more. Like Carrie the salsa-dancing dog!
This talented Golden Retriever is no stranger to the spotlight; this video is from a 2010 appearance on Letterman, and the dancing dog has definitely danced her way into viral fame. WOOF!
