Christmas hit that only dogs can hear

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1965

Quote:
A new version of Silent Night has become a howling success - with dogs.

The Christmas carol has been recorded at such high frequencies the music cannot be heard by the human ear.

Only dogs, with their more sensitive hearing, can pick up the sounds which were performed on synthesisers in a studio in Auckland, New Zealand, and released there on a CD costing £1.50.

So many dog owners bought A Very Silent Night for their pets that it has reached number three in the New Zealand music charts.

The country's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals came up with the idea of the fund-raising single after one of its members said pets should be able to share in the spirit of the human Christmas.

A spokesman said that when the single was tested on strays brought in to the society "they loved it".

Some dogs apparently threw their heads back and "sang" along to the music.

The spokesman added: "There was plenty of singing, dancing and pricked ears to confirm that A Very Silent Night was a hit."

It was apparently a fund raiser for an animal shelter in New Zealand.

Here's another link
