Law & Order's theme music has dogs howling

American courtroom drama series Law & Order causes dogs to go barking mad. A slew of videos have popped up on the internet showing dogs of all shapes and sizes howling and baying when they hear the show's theme music.

It is arresting imagery, and experts say the harried hounds' behaviour can be attributed to the music's tonal quality.



"The reason they do that is because the music has a combination of clarinets and high-decibel sounds," said celebrity pet trainer Bash Dibra.

"When the music hits a certain note, it hits a signal in their auditory nerve and makes them howl."
