Dogs lap up soothing tunes humans find beastly

[kskiska]

VANCOUVER - Skip Haynes and Dana Walden are all about making the world a better place for dogs, and their CD, Songs to Make Dogs Happy, is a hit with four-legged music fans.

"I wish my old band got the kind of response from humans that this disc gets from dogs," said Haynes, producer and lead vocalist.

The music, with titles like You're a Good Dog and Adventure Dog, is relentlessly happy and upbeat.

"It's actually a bit nauseating for humans, although people do get addicted to it," said Haynes. "Especially Squeaky Deakey."

"You can't use the word No, or they just shut down," he said. "And you need to avoid rimshots; they tend to upset the dogs that come from neighbourhoods where there is a lot of gun play."

1. Baby Einstein for Dogs!!! :D

2. I just googled Squeaky Deaky to get an idea of what

it sounds like.
It's funny but annoying. A squeaky toy squeaks in rhythm to the song. I imagine dogs would really like the song. Good thing I have cats and not dogs.
