A couple were left in stitches after discovering their foster dog’s peculiar musical preference, leaving many baffled.
Dogs are funny creatures who often have no problem expressing their thoughts and opinions, even if we don’t speak the same language. They might wag their tail or seek attention when they’re happy and content with something.
Meanwhile, their body language can become more reserved or they may flatten their ears back if they’re unhappy. While dogs might have a favourite food, one couple were taken aback when they realised their foster pup had a strong preference for music.
Isabel Klee, who boasts over a million followers on TikTok, shared a video of the moment she and her fiancé discovered that their foster dog Whimsy had strong opinions about the band Creed.
“So, last week, my fiancé and I discovered that our foster dog loves when we sing to her,” she said at the start of the video, which has been viewed over two million times. “But she distinctly hated when my fiancé sang Creed.”
The video then transitions to the couple sitting on the sofa with the pup in question trying to hide in the woman’s arms as the man was belting out the 1999 hit ‘With Arms Wide Open’ by Creed. It was clear that Whimsy wasn’t a fan as she looked up at the woman with her paw against her arm, clearly begging her to make him stop singing.
Isabel then went on to explain that she and her partner had decided to put Whimsy’s music taste to the test, as the man went on to sing different songs, some by Creed, just to see how the dog would react.
For the first song, the man was singing Bennie and the Jets, but changing out the name Bennie for Whimsy. It was evident that the pup was enjoying this tune more than the Creed song, as she quickly leapt off the sofa to get to the man in the kitchen whilst wagging her tail as he continued to sing for her.
The video then cut to another moment when Whimsy was back on the sofa before rushing back to the man singing in the kitchen, now having opted for Miss You by Blink-182. Again, as the dog was clearly adoring the song, the man also managed to include Whimsy’s name in the song, which earned him enthusiastic tail wagging.
So clearly, Whimsy does love it when people sing. So perhaps the reaction to the Creed song was just a one-off thing? To test it again, as Whimsy was back on the sofa, the man once again started to sing the same Creed song as he did at the start of the video.
This time, Whimsy remained on the sofa with Isabel, looking over at the man in the kitchen before turning around to seek comfort in Isabel, which made her laugh.
“She’s like ‘mom make it stop’,” Isabel said as she turned the camera to show Whimsy cuddling up as close to her as possible to seek comfort. “Oh my God, she really hates Creed.”
And the two dog owners weren’t the only ones who found this hilarious, as several viewers soon took to the comment section to share their thoughts, with some theorising as to why Whimsy disliked Creed.
“Her name isn’t in the creed song,” one person said, while another added: “It’s because you DIDNT PUT HER NAME IN THE CREED LYRICS! Jesus. Never had a chance.”
Another suggested: “Have him sing creed in a higher voice. Maybe it’s the tone. The other two were higher pitched.”
