Does your dog howl for Law & Order?
Thum-THUM.
You know that theme song to the TV program Law & Order? It appears to set off many dogs
a'howlin'.
Our friends at Dogster had this to say:
It seems there's something about the theme song that drives dogs crazy. Whether that's crazy in a good way or a bad way is something we can't be sure of, but it definitely has an effect on lots of dogs.
.... "The reason they (howl) is because the music has a combination of clarinets and high-decibel sounds," celebrity pet trainer Bash Dibra told the New York Post. "When the music hits a certain note, it ... hits a signal in their auditory nerve and makes them howl."

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
