Dogs howling to music is a well-documented behavior. The American Kennel Club says that canines may howl in response to music due to their ancestral connection to wolves, who use howling as a form of communication. Certain pitches and frequencies in music can trigger a dog’s natural instinct to join in, mimicking the long, drawn-out notes of a howl.
TikTok users were delighted by Willow’s performance and shared their own experiences with musical dogs.
“Why was I expecting the howl to match each of the WOOHOO WEEHOO perfectly,” posted Matt Medhurst.
“My old dog used to sing to Coronation Street and Snow White,” shared Kelly Morris.
“My basset hound’s howling song is ‘Demons’ by Imagine Dragons … I had it set as my alarm when he was a puppy, and he started howling to it. He still does it nine years later—every time,” commented a third dog owner.
“My dog’s song is ‘Rather Be’ by Clean Bandit,” added Emily Aston.
