This photo was published July 5, 1961. Here is the caption: Hitting a high note is a standard accomplishment for "Tiny," this 2-year-old chihuahua owned by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Decker, 412 Albert street. Tiny has been heard by many residents of the neighborhood, who declare she can actually carry a tune. She started on her singing career one day when Mrs. Decker, who likes to sing about her work, noticed that Tiny was accompanying her. She immediately began to work with the dog and now there are several duets daily. Tiny is a little reticent at first about singing in front of strangers, but finally overcomes her timidity and gives out as she is shown here with Mrs. Decker. Here, she's illustrating with a high C.
