No, its not your tuning--Homer the singing dog

[KeyKat88 at aol.com]

Greetings ,

        We had a German Sheperd that did the same thing. We live in the city, 
and our Shep howls to fire and police sirens. He also howls if a room full of 
people howl. I dont think it is a reflection on your tuning that the Shep 
doesnt howl when you tune as opposed to people singing or howling. 

     I really think that because this species of dog is so closely related to 
the wolf, and wolves are pack animals, that they howl as a result of being 
with a group of people (to them, its a pack, I guess)  that sing (or howl, as we 
discovered one time) Sheps are extremely intellegent and loyal. Thats why 
they are used in search and rescue and police work. (Can you tell its my favorite 
breed of dog?) They are pack animals by nature.

I had never heard a dog sing as much or on cue.  Yet  for her first 3 years 
she never responded to the sound of a piano or a piano being tuned.  I don’t 
know what that says about me as a tuner other than I don’t hum or sing when I 
tune.  The only other thing she howled at was coyotes, but that is another 
story.
