Welcome to American Way Farm
Way "up nawth" in northern NH, where the snowdrifts are big enough to have their own zip codes, life on the farm comes with equal parts work, wonder, and comic relief. I’m Sandy Davis—farmer, storyteller, and frequent victim of livestock with too much personality. Here’s where I share the true (and mostly true) tales of everyday life on American Way Farm—the moments that inspired my book Between the Fenceposts.

Dog Dance – A Heartwarming Bond Between Human and Dog

If this doesn’t make you smile, you might want to check your pulse. I stumbled across this video of Tina Humphrey and her dog dancing together in a competition, and let me tell you—it’s one of those rare things that warms your heart, lifts your spirits, and makes you forget for a moment that the world can be a pretty noisy place.

I don’t know what competition it was, but it doesn’t really matter. The performance speaks for itself. There’s Tina, graceful and confident, and beside her—well, not just beside her, with her—is her four-legged partner, moving in perfect sync. Every spin, every step, every bow—it’s not just well-rehearsed; it’s a duet of pure joy. The bond between them practically glows through the screen. You can see it in the dog’s eyes and that nonstop, rhythm-perfect tail wag. That’s not obedience—that’s happiness in motion.

There’s something almost magical about watching a person and their dog move together like that. You can’t choreograph love, but you can sure see it when it’s there. The trust, the connection, the fun—it all shines through every beat of the music. And honestly, that dog’s timing could rival most human dancers I’ve seen. Never once did he miss a cue or step out of line. I’ve had dance partners less coordinated than that!

If my own dogs ever master half those moves, I’m signing us up for Farmyard’s Got Talent. I can already picture Roxie and Jack trying to moonwalk across the living room while the sheep look on, unimpressed. But watching Tina and her dancing dog makes me think maybe—just maybe—it’s possible.

It’s easy to get caught up in the training, the work, the routines. But this performance is a reminder of what it’s really all about: joy, trust, and that special kind of love only a dog can give. Truly, this duo turned a simple competition into something unforgettable—a celebration of heart, humor, and one incredibly wagging tail.

The end was the best part. If other's don't watch the whole thing, watch the last 15 seconds. Adorable!
