Less than 2 weeks after being the victim of a brutal dog attack requiring life-saving surgery, she's back to work @ Yahoo - and look at that concentration!

“The time I worked with Musik was the first time I worked with a trained dog. I had no idea what to expect. She was sweet and playful, and Musik’s complete adorableness was matched by her professionalism on set. Her ability to stay focused with her trainer and complete tasks allowed me to focus on what I needed to do and shots to go smoothly. She definitely made smiling for the camera easy to do! I hope I get to work with Musik again in the future!” Karen Hernandez, Actor

"Musik was just a young puppy when we filmed, so we weren't sure what to expect. But her patience, ability to find the camera, and follow all commands was amazing. She posed as my dog as well as 2 other models' dog, and she played the part perfectly every time. I fell in love. Impressive dog!" Sam Gold, Model

“Musik is one of the best show dogs I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Total pro on set and a delight to work with, Musik is our go to Bay Area dog talent!” Ezra Gould, Director, The Dodo
DogTV February – March 2019
Musik filmed about a dozen scenes for DOGTV. Here’s one of our favorites.
“When filming content for DOGTV (television for dogs), it’s important for us to work with the most professional and experienced dog trainers in order to get the best content for dogs to enjoy. Beverly’s dogs Kompis & Musik are so talented and easy to work with because Beverly can communicate exactly what they needed to do, and they always did it! I don’t know how she does it, but it works beautifully! I’m looking forward to working with Beverly and her pup on more DOGTV programs.” Ron Levi, Founder/Chief Content Officer, DOGTV
Musik’s Theatre Experience
Musik played Sandy in “Annie Warbucks“ for 22 performances in March and April 2023

Sandy with Annie and Daddy Warbucks!
BEHIND THE SCENES: Here is a peek behind the scenes of training a dog for live theater. Compared to the Broadway Sandy’s, who had to be held down or on leash, Musik is an amazing superstar! This is only after two days of rehearsals, and Broadway dogs can’t get there in years of practice and work.
