Why you should sing to your Dog

Do you feel silly when you even think about singing to your dog? That's a good sign, it means you are doing it right. Right as in the way your dog would like to be serenaded, that is with the high-baby-talk voice that most dogs take as a sign of affection and comfort. If you are singing to your dog, in the doggie-voice, you will be in the playful side of your brain, most likely smiling, or giggling as you do it, and your dog will pick up on your happy mood. Happy moods are contagious to dogs, so you might as well spread the cheer.

What to Watch

Alive Inside: A Story of Music and Memory (2014)

1h 18m | Not Rated - A documentary that demonstrates the power of music simply by putting headphones on the older folk. To watch them go from slumped over and quiet or mumbling to bouncing around and crying or laughing is astonishing.
