opening bars of bach's cm toccata makes dogs howl

Consistently, whenever I start off with that melancholy, beautiful, yet stern beginning, my puppy starts howling like his heart is breaking.

It's kinda funny.

hehe that's cute.

When I practiced violin hardcore back when it was my primary instrument, I had a teacher who had 2 Shitzu's that would howl whenever you played well and would growl whenever you were playing poorly.

They loved the Barber Concerto.
