Listening to music is the best way to wake up. It creates a relaxing transition between your sleeping and waking worlds, allowing you to embrace the morning energetically. Many people set their alarms to play a tune; it is much more enjoyable than that long, repetitive beeping you see in movies. As it turns out, humans aren’t the only ones who love waking up to their favorite songs. This puppy can’t help but feel happy when his jam comes on.
The pup rested silently in the back seat. Music was playing, but he took no interest in it. He just kept snoozing along – that is, until his favorite song came on.
Suddenly, the music changed, and the pup took full notice. The moment the first notes from Disney’s “Let It Go” came on, his ears spiked up. This dog already knew what was coming, and he couldn’t wait.
As the piano began to play, the puppy’s eyes opened wide. If he was snoozing before, he was definitely awake now. It didn’t take long before he picked his head up and looked around the car.
As Idina Menzel’s voice poured in through the speaker, the pup prepared to sing along. He let out a low howl. At first it was barely audible, but as the singer’s voice picked up in volume, so did the dog’s.
This furry friend looked exactly like he was singing along with the song. He cut off the sound he was emitting every time the singer’s voice paused between lines.
By the time the artist was belting out the notes of the chorus, the puppy’s howl was in full force. The animal could clearly feel the energy of the song, and he wanted to match it. With his ears bent back and his nose pointed up, the dog joined in on the music.
At this point, the pup’s owner cut off the song. She wanted to see if it was really this particular tune that got him howling. As soon as “Boom Clap” by Charli XCX came back on, the puppy laid his head down and went back to sleep. The dog really did have a connection with his favorite jingle.
It is amazing that a tune could have this effect on an animal. Experiences like this raise the question of how deeply dogs can connect to music. According to Stanley Coren, a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia, “Sometimes dogs can be induced to howl by a long note on the violin or even by a human holding a long note while singing.” Coren concludes that “perhaps these sound like proper howls to the listening dog and he feels the need to answer and join in the chorus.”
Whatever the case may be, no one can doubt that “Let It Go” is this puppy’s favorite song. You’ll want to watch his adorable wake-up call for yourself in the video below.
