A Dog Grooves To His Buddy's Guitar:
What do you think? There is evidence that some animals enjoy singing themselves, but can non-human animals appreciate human music? What is it about rhythms and melodies that we humans appreciate anyway and can the ability to appreciate music improve an animal’s (including our own) chance of survival?
It turns out, some researchers have tackled these questions. But that, my friends, is for another post.
Peabody, our rescued Treeing Walker Coonhound, used to roll his eyes and howl along as my husband played the banjo, or as I played the violin.
ReplyDeleteThere is some research out there about animals reactions to various types of music
ReplyDeleteOur Shih-Tzu normally sings along with the recorded carillon bells that are played at 6 p.m. from the roof of our neighborhood church. He goes out on our deck throws his head back and croons along. AWWrooRoooroo.
ReplyDeleteThe reason we think it is enjoyment and not pain is that he hustles to get out there if he misses the beginning of the bell-hymns. One time he was sitting by the TV with his eyes half-closed and did not hear that the bells had begun playing outside. I commented to family members in the room, "I'm surprised Joey isn't out there singing."
He heard his name mentioned, perked his ears up as he took a few steps toward me, then suddenly heard that the music was playing without him!!! Dashed out the dog door onto the porch and raised his voice in song.
Now we have a tiny Pomeranian who joins him in a duet accompanied by church bells. The Pom doesn't croon though. He yips rhythmically.
Usually they only do the first song of the evening. Then the dogs come inside as the bells continue to play.
