Hubby just watched it too, hard to believe it is a real ape.

It's not real... It's AI generated. Pretty funny though.

But I like this Jack Links Beef Jerky commercial too...

We have often talked about why dogs howl at sirens. I remember the usual answer was that the siren hurt their ears. However, I think that the dogs love to howl along with noises like sirens, and maybe pianos, like the dog in this video.
When we have sirens in the distance, Poodle will lift his head and listen, waiting for Rusty to make the first sound. The second Rusty starts “singing along” with the approaching sirens, Poodle puts his little nose in the air , and just sings his little heart out.
The dog in the video is definitely making his own music to sing with. I am sure that he has watched his owner play the piano and sing , and this is what he is doing also.

I had a puppy back when I raised shetland sheep dogs, that I named howler. He would howl when I did, even when cuddling and I would'howl' softly. Wolves do it without pain.

This morning, this made me cry. ???

Here's proof that sometimes Dogs sing the Blues...

As you can see, I like Red Pandas. One of my former roommates had an Albino Ferret, and she was interesting to watch play. And I bet these Red Pandas would be even more fun...

I meant to comment about this before, but you know... I forget things.

Howling is one form of communication dogs have. The closer a dog's breed is to wolves, the more likely they are to howl in reply to anything they perceive as another dog / wolf / etc. howling. When a dog howls, it's like when we answer the phone when it rings...

When Cindy and I were doin' the Old Folks Boogie in the afternoon or evening, we always loved it when the neighborhood dogs heard sirens. The moment they hear the siren, we would hear dogs howling from every direction. One night my neighbor (a member Yurok Tribe) came home mid-howl and he sat listening to it with us. After the siren was gone and the dogs had settled down, he started telling us Yurok stories about wolves, coyotes and dogs howling. In the middle of one he put his hands up and cut loose with a loud howl, and a moment later all the neighborhood dogs were howling away. If you have loud speakers, open your doors and windows in the late evening when it's quieter outside and play this video. I bet all it will take is just one of your neighborhood dogs hearing that and all the dogs in the whole neighborhood will "reply"...

Howling (Sorry, the video is blocked outside of YouTube.)

I had to try this to see, and neither Poodle or Rusty cares about wolves howling. They only want to sing along with emergency vehicles, and sometimes not all of those, so I guess it depends on how the siren sounds.
Back when I lived in the woods in north Idaho and we had coyotes, my dogs that I had then would howl along with the coyotes, and we rarely heard sirens out there; so I guess it is what the dogs hears the most often.

When I lived in Yellowstone back in the 1970s, that was my first time being out of the Illinois corn fields, and coyotes howling were the first time I ever heard of that. There were no wolves at the time in the park, but later in other places I could hear them off in the deep woods. I loved living in the mountains...
