Boxer Dog for Sings 'Like Something Out of a Graveyard' and People Are Here for It
Everyone's a critic. That's probably what poor Georgie was thinking after seeing the many commenters online who had something to say about his singing voice. People were so rough! They kept comparing the Boxer's howl to something you'd hear on Halloween.... and TBH, they sort of have a point.
Thankfully we think Georgie will survive the internet's comments — seeing as how he's a dog and all.
We'd like to think the Boxer was out taking his nightly howl. Do dogs do that? Go out for a nightly howl? Either way, Georgie must've really been feeling something because the noises he let out were beyond anything we've heard before. He didn't just do a quick "A-woo" — he put his whole heart into it.

"A-wooo-oo-oo-ooo-oo-ooo-oo-oo," he howled. Honestly there were a couple more "oos" in there, but our hands got tired of typing so much.
"Hittin' all the notes today," the dog's owner joked in the caption.
Sadly the comments section also noticed that Georgie's howl was kind of funky. "The first note was giving 'My Heart Will Go On,'" wrote one person. "Conformation that spooky season is around the corner," someone else teased. "That's a Halloween howl," kidded one person. "Quietly singing the strange, sad song that only he and his ghost friend understand," joked one woman.
Why Do Dogs Howl?
When dogs howl, it can be sort of disconcerting. What are they doing? More importantly, who are they trying to communicate with? The truth is that scientists don't exactly know why dogs howl. But it could very well have to do with their near ancestor — the wolf.
Wolves howl to communicate with each other over long distances. For instance, a wolf pup might howl to talk to another wolf who is out roaming. Wolves also use howling as a way to mark their territories too.
But dogs are different from wolves, right? They don't necessarily travel in packs anymore — heck, they tend to stay inside the house. But dogs do howl and as best as scientists can figure they do so to communicate with us. Yep, we're part of their pack now.
No surprise here, but the number one reason why dogs howl is for attention. Dogs love to get your attention, so it shouldn't be any surprise that your dog is trying to get your notice. They might also howl when they hear you at the door or when they get separated from other dogs. Some dogs howl to express their emotions. A dog might also howl to let someone know they're hurt.
As you can see, howling is no laughing matter. Unless you're Georgie...then we can't help laughing just a little bit.
