bipedal dog=dinosaur?

[David Krentz <ddkrentz@charter.net>]

This is really silly, but I was just watching some animal trick show on 
Animal Planet, and saw a german shepard that was quite comfortable 
walking bipedally.
It even walked up a flight of stairs!
  It did everything it could (as expected) to move its centre of 
gravity over its hips,  neck cocked back, forelimbs tucked in, tail 
up..it looked so much like a dinosaur the has- been-actor host even 
said "it had that Jurassic Park T.rex action goin' on".
  Neat thing was, it was still digitigrade, although going up the 
stairs it went plantigrade for a few steps.
Being cat person, I've never seen this before.  I'm sure many of you 
dog owners have your own doggie dino experiences.
Like I said, this was really silly, but I still wish I had taped it for 
animation reference!

  Jeez, now they have singing birds on..I'm not touching that one.
