Do you want your dog to get into the Christmas spirit too? Then give his floppy ears this song – and see what happens.
"Last Christmas, I gave you my bone, but the very next day you left me alone." No, wait – you don't have to rewrite any Christmas classics for your dog – because now he gets his very own song. Do not you think? But actually there is.
"Raise the Woof" is supposed to make dogs happy
The song "Raise The Woof", which was composed especially for dogs by the British dog food startup tails.com, already has more than 300,000 views on YouTube.

In any case, we immediately had a catchy tune when we heard the song and had to pull ourselves together not to bark along … uh, sing.
Incidentally, in a study Spotify found that 71 percent of pet owners have already played music to their furry friends (that's why there are even entire playlists for humans and animals).
How do dogs react to "Raise The Woof"?
In short: quite irritated. Instagram users filmed their four-legged friends when they heard the song. That's what came out of it.
What the hell is that?
Uhh, do I have to dance now?
Oh my god we're so excited
To be honest: the dogs don't look that relaxed. They probably shouldn't either. "Raise The Woof" is more like occupational therapy. But if you want a completely relaxed dog at home for Christmas, you might try Last Christmas again – or even better: Silent Night, Holy Night …
