Dogs howling and crying,does it have anything with the death of a human in the neighborhood?
Howling may provide long-range communication with other dogs or owners. Howling can be used to locate another pack member, to keep strangers away, or to call the pack for hunting. Some dogs howl when they have separation anxiety. It’s been suggested that dogs sometimes howl when they hear sirens or other loud higher pitched sounds like clarinets and flutes as an instinctive response to hearing what they interpret to be another dog howling in the distance. A more likely explanation is that there’s something in the pitch and wavelengths of certain sounds that’s similar to the howl of the wolf which resonates with the dog. In relation to death being near is pure “stupidition”, as I have heard dogs howl all though my life and there was no deaths reported in relation to them. Some people will believe anything.
