Clark Griswold the Talking WHAT???

     So I am sure that everyone has heard of Clark Griswold. You know, star of the National Lampoons vacation series!  Come on, think back to 1983. The year after Top Gun was released on VHS!  Okay, well I remember them anyways. For those of you that don’t your not going to fully get this story. Anyways, stick around, its still pretty funny either way.

     Meet Mark and Jennifer, Colarado residents whom adopted Clark Griswold at the ripe young age of 8 weeks.   Now I am just going to come right out and say this.  The particular Clark Griswold I am talking about isn’t the star from those (once) hilarious movies that are collecting dust in our parents basement.  He is actually a talking… Dog.  Yes thats right, part shepard and part malamoy, talking DOG.  Well… Not quite.  But thats what everyone likes to believe he is! 

     So anyways, Clark Griswold was adopted from a puppy shelter in Colarado by Mark and Jennifer at 8 weeks old.  Next thing you know before Clark is a year and a half old he is talking!  Now I am not saying that another dog makes a noise that sounds like a word in our language and suddenly angels appear from the heavens and oceans part to let this dog through, no.  Clark can have a full out conversation with his owners!  Don’t believe me?  Check it here out before you judge!

     See, I told you!  A real live talking Clark Griswold!

     Ya I know, I didn’t think I could fool you guys for long!  But it is rather amusing!  And believe me its still funny after repeat viewings.

     So it turns out that Clark Griswold can’t actually talk.  I was dissapointed too to find out the truth!  Turns out a friend of Mark and Jennifer sent the original recording of Clark to a voice over specialist in Nova Scotia and he turned up this masterpiece.  But, 67 million YouTube views isn’t the end of it for this phoney talking dog. That video tape landed Clark contracts for commercials and being the spokes(person) for a few different companies including BooBooloon, and if you hate the cones around the neck thing on pets you will love this!

     Don’t worry either. Mark and Jennifer aren’t totally raking in on this fake talking dog.  They are giving a portion of the proceeds to the Colorado Puppy Rescue as well as some to the Dumb Friends League (an animal shelter in Denver).

     Mark and Jennifer, thanks for the laughs.  Even if it is a little bit of false advertising. 

Just like a real talking dog
