As we should be aware by now, our dearest canine companions are descendants of Wolves. In the wild, Wolves and Dogs are known to communicate and identify pack members through howling, each tune distinctive to their family. For domesticated Dogs such as our very own, barking and howling are often perceived as an attempt to communicate, or even taking a swing at Music-making ☺ 

Behavioural studies have proven that Dogs are actually capable of identifying different tunes and pitches, enabling them to be affected by music like we do– Rock & Hip Hop induces adrenaline rush, the certain touch of angst and even a hint of sadness at times. Classical & Jazz music is best for relaxation. 

It is said that Dogs have a better inclination to wind instruments due to pitch and frequency. But like us, how Doggos react to the genres of music varies too (there's always a preferred choice). Undeniably, the most noticeable reaction is your Dog trying to join you in on a number as you sing or dance around at home (we all have those moments).

Fun Fact      There has already been music pieces composed for Dogs, according to their hearing frequencies, some were even created withthe howls of their own canine pals!

A few Pet services today (Pet boarding/sitting, Grooming, Pet shops) have incorporated music within their premises to encourage positive, soothing vibes, and sometimes even for overall healing purposes. A very good example of our first-time experiencing this was at an art exhibit; PAWsitive. one particular piece was put together with a spot for Doggos to rest, accompanied by the melodic tune of A Whole New World(soundtrack to Disney’s Aladdin), tuned specially to a Dog’s hearing frequency!

Well, need we say more? Of course we do! Although the name of the event is pretty self-explanatory, there is of course, a different amicable cause for this event– to raise funds for shelters and find homes for Dogs that are available for adoption! 

This event was held right in the middle of Botanic Gardens, Singapore. Organized by ASD (Action for Singapore Dogs); Admission was free, with the option of purchasing a picnic basket with a mat, all prepared prior to the event. There was also a choice for freshly prepared Dog food for your furry friend!

Live Jazz performances were going on at the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage, and this was perhaps the only time we saw Botanic Gardens packed with so many four-legged friends. It was exactly as you’d imagine, colourful picnic mats sprawled across the lawn across the stage, and everyone and every paw getting serenaded by fun Jazzy music. Judging from the expressions and vibes from the crowd, we’d call it a musically effective event indeed.
