We have five dogs who show no interest when I play instruments. But my daughter has recently brought home a puppy (Japanese Akita X German shepherd).

And it howls like nobody's business every time I play the sax.

My daughter and I have had a big row over this because she thinks I'm hurting his ears.

The thing is, no matter which part of the farm I go, he comes running to sit near me and yowl. If he doesn't like it, why come listen?

In a previous thread, Little Hawk opined that dogs howl because they want to join in the music.

Any updated opinions? Can Little Hawk be trusted?
