“Scratch a dog and you’ll find a permanent job.” - Franklin P. Jones
Happy Monday! Here's the scoop:
A dog with very specific taste in karaoke songs
See what today’s DOTD is snacking on
A gift for you and your dog (and everyone who gets to witness it)
Did you know...
80% of pet parents give their dogs holiday and birthday presents. (What are the other 20% spending their money on?!)
Humans aren’t the only ones with picky music taste
Research has shown that dogs have their own taste in music, often favoring specific genres over others, particularly reggae and soft rock. But one dog, Oscar’s, eclectic preferences have left his owner scratching her head.
While listening through her playlist, Oscar’s owner noticed that he started showing a strong liking for three songs and three songs only: "Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber, "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer and "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve. Three hits with seemingly nothing in common, other than being certified bangers.
The picky pup would “sing” along loudly to his three favorite songs, but other ballads, even those by the same artists, resulted in no reaction or even negative ones from Oscar. This left his puzzled owner seeking answers from TikTok, wondering exactly what it is about them that he likes.
The general verdict among viewers was that all of Oscar’s faves seemed to be in E major, "so he might like tones and beats from that scale," according to one musically inclined TikToker. Others seem to think that the pooch just knows what he likes.
Catch us using the excuse “My dog actually hates Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ so we can’t play it tonight.” at all holiday events from here on out.
