Dogs who love music

My wife used to have a cat who would literally bounce off the walls to Rage Against the Machine's Bulls on Parade. Not my sort of music, but who am I to judge the tastes of a cat?

Musicdoc, boy isn't that the truth. I got one that literally doesn't breathe for the all of 16 seconds it takes her to eat her food. I don't get too close for fear of losing a digit while it's going down, but she doesn't like music I don't think. The other of my hounds does whatever I do and if that means Motorhead on 11 then that's what it means.

The best is both of them trying to find the dog in the speakers when they hear one barking in a movie. They go nuts. They also like the sounds of wild-creatures in the nature shows I put on from time to time, like the crocodile chaser show, or the one where they show man-eating lions of Tsavo eating all the Indians. We all love it.

My dog literally howls/screams, whether in pain or ecstasy or empathy or trying to make her own music, I can't tell, whenever any recording w/harmonica comes on at home or in the car. Bob Dylan songs really KILL her, I am hoping she loves the sound because she tries so hard to emulate it. But someone suggested that maybe it hurt her ears. She hasn't said, either way. She is a black Lab named Scallywag.

J_thunders, does your "chowhound" pup happen to be an AmStaff? Mine has a whole different set of priorities than does my ex-girlfriend's Lab/Rotweiler mix. He actually pays attention to things (TV, music) while she has the priorities of an insatiable appetite for affection/attention, eating, sleeping, pooping, rolling in other animal's poop, and barking (not necessarily in that order).

I'll try the "nature sounds" thing to freak her out :-)

Both American Water Spaniels. Couldn't ask for better dogs. Mine beg for snacks, eat and sleep, in that order, anything else seems to bother them as it gets in the way of these three things.
