Francey’s poodle Virgil is a happy-go-lucky kind of dog. As his bemused owner told us, he likes to smile in all manner of ordinary situations, whether he’s “meeting new people or dogs, smelling funny-smelling stuff or just because he enjoys showing off how handsome he is”. This recording shows him reacting with delight to the mechanical whizzing sound of an electric toothbrush. It’s just a pity he won’t be able to try out the new toy himself!
