"Proud to Be a Dog" is the closing number to Teacher's Pet: The Movie, where Spot realizes that his real destiny is to be a dog. It's a reprise of "I Wanna Be a Boy".
Lyrics[]
Leonard: Oh, Spot, you're back!
Spot: I had to come back, bunky. I love ya, and I want to be with ya! Don't you remember? Cue the violins...
Spot and Leonard: A friend needs a friend
Adele, Ian, and Dennis: A friend needs a friend
Spot: Everybody sing!
Everyone: A boy needs a...
Spot: Back down the south end of the leash is where my place is
Houses: Chasing balls and licking faces
Spot: A simple mutt living a dog's life. Now I'm in the thrall of natures call, it's my destiny to be man's best friend
Hydrant and Chorus: And to bite your own rear end
Spot: And so it's bye-bye to species second-guessing, this Rover's learned his lesson.
I'm proud to be a dog!!!
Dogs: The creed of fido can't be denied-o
Spot: I'm glad to be a dog
Dogs: A dog and nothing but a-
Blue Fairies: Dog's what he must be
Spot: I'll be spot-on
Chorus: With his pants not on
Spot: Because at last, I see, that a tree needs a log
Leonard: And a sow needs a hog
Spot: Just like London needs fog
Leonard: Or a princess a frog
Spot: Well a friend needs a friend,
Spot and Leonard: A road needs a bend, a film needs an end
Everyone: A boy needs a dog! Needs a boy, needs a dog, needs a boy, needs a dog, needs a boy, needs a dog, boy, dog, boy, dog-boy-dog-boy-dog-boy-dog-boy-dog!!!
