Toddler and Dog Sing the Blues

There's a reason why they call dogs “man's best friend” – and that was demonstrated when this adorable little boy grabbed his harmonica and “sang” the blues with his furry family member.

As the boy plays the harmonica, the hound starts to howl along with him. Now their video is going viral and it's easy to see why!

According to Cuteness.com, dogs howl when they hear certain pitches for a variety of reasons. One of the biggest reasons is to communicate with his pack (the family).

In the wild, wolves howl to share their location, information about threats and things to avoid and important pack messages.

So when a loud sound goes off in their presence, a dog's natural wolf-like instincts kick in!

While some people think that howling along to music could be because the dog is uncomfortable, that's far from the case.

If a dog disliked the music playing, they would move to a quieter space, not howl along like the wolf they want to be!

So when this sweet little boy starts to play his harmonica, the pup can't help but get in on the action! Together, the pair croons the blues and Mom captures the whole thing on her phone.

This moment is just too cute and we're so glad that Mom thought to share the video online for the world to see.

Take a peek at this heartwarming video for yourself by pressing “play” below. By the looks (and sound) of things, these two are going to be music buddies for years to come.

10 Of The “Most Loyal” Dog Breeds On The Planet
Giving love and support to humans is something that some dogs do better than others.

While many dogs love everyone they meet and are willing to take treats or belly rubs from anyone, the pups we found are just the opposite.

These 10 dogs are some of the most loyal breeds on the planet. They are rock steady in their loyalty to their owner no matter what.

1) Akita

When the American Kennel Club (AKC) lists loyalty to describe the temperament of the Akita, you know they mean business. The beautiful double-coated working dog of Japanese ancestry is considered hardwired in protecting those she loves. They should be socialized with other dogs and people from the time they are puppies. Their silly, fun, but dignified personalities round out the loyal Akita.
