25 Things Your Dog Wishes You Know (#11 Will Break Your Heart)

3. “I Think Your Singing Is Great. Honestly.”

Dogs respond to your energy, not your pitch.

Sing in the shower? Hum while cooking? Belt out your favorite song in the car? Your dog thinks you are amazing. Dogs do not judge musical ability. They do not care if you are off-key.

What they hear is something different — they hear you being happy. They feel your energy. They notice you are relaxed and joyful, and that makes them relaxed and joyful too. So that look your dog gives you when you start singing? It is admiration. Sing more — they love it. The next one is something most owners underestimate.
