Elvis and the tornado siren test

Every month, my neighborhood tests the tornado siren. And every month, this is what my dog Elvis does.

[@stormpursuit]

Thats absolutely amazing how animals react to civil defense sirens. They truely are our best friend. At least you should know, if your in trouble your dogs will alert you.

[@paulfranke]

I think he's singing ain't nothing but a hound dog haha. cute pups

[@ItzYaBoyJesse]

Thank you very much, Elvis has left the Tornado Siren test.

[@Gitsie007]

Cute!! I had a black lab that did that--howled when there were sirens.

[@MrAIRSHOWFAN100]

cute dog

[@SuperFarinelli]

adorable

[@snhtown9]

Boy, would Elvis ever save your life if you couldn't hear the sirens while you were asleep at night and a real tornado was coming. Good dog!! :-)

[@safteyandscience5314]

indeed

[@soccerk8te38]

so cute=)

[@Ralastar]

GO ELVIS!!!!

[@OfficerCramer]

Well at least if you dont hear the siren you'll hear the dog! lol very cute!

[@errantego]

My next door neighbor's golden retriver used to do that too, god rest her soul. :-\

[@dragondancer1814]

We used to have a German Shepherd named Conan who reacted the same way every time a fire engine, ambulance, or police car with siren blowing got within two blocks of our house! Man, he HATED those sirens! Even if he was inside the house, he'd go ballistic and howl like that until they drove by.

[@racer927]

I don't think that the sound hurts them or scares them, they think the sound, especially during wind up, wind down or attack, is the sound of another dog or wolf howling. Following ancestral wolf instincts, they howl back at the sound to denote their territory.

[@lt1caprice57l]

Siren sounds like a 2T22. Cute dogs!

[@CelestialMare]

He thinks something bad is about to happen poor puppy :(

[@pmgodfrey]

My cats just run to the basement. At least they're smarter than I am. I wanna go outside and look around.

[@freespeech6999]

You're a riot.

[@York22]

Its loud so it frightens them and it probubly hurts their ears too. But its also a good thing that their howling. Imagine it was late at night and you were fast asleep they also act as your tornado warning.

[@jewelwells8847]

Lol the other dog's like "Yeah Ok, what he said."

[@LUN4RM00NS]

Dogs are smart

[@johnwarman54]

lol that's cute

[@chrissyspoor21]

Aww poor baby!!! My neighborhood tests their tornado siren's every Saturday at noon

[@aprkri]

He keeps looking back at you, like "what the heck?" LOL

[@jeancharlesdu21]

the best siren is your dog's barks !!

[@magnusdeus24]

at :43 i feel like the other dog is smiling thinking like "get a load of this guy" haha

[@Sashahare7]

Awwhhh

[@Niklas7878]

Thats anxiety. People probably get stressed out running for shelter if were to be the real deal when this alarm goes off. Dogs remember that. They dont know if its just a test or real.

[@play1210]

cute

[@cmauro9]

That is great. Are they both labs? Almost look like they're mixed

[@BB..........]

Haha, poor guy. He just doesn't know what to do.

[@Heyde1979]

That sounds like a 3T22 sounding

[@supreme2005]

My lab used to do the exact same thing.

[@klk1900]

[@GurlzLuvAChaud]

Well, I doubt it could be any worse then bringing out the vacuum cleaner?

[@Doggieworld3Show]

"Moooooooom! !"

[@soccerk8te38]

he is good 4 if there is a storm @ nite & the tornado sirens r going off

[@darththork99]

My dog does this too. I don't know if she hates the sound or she's trying to warn me.

[@haleythemau5]

@darththork99 Maybe they think it's another dog. Maybe they are used to the siren going off when there's a tornado. You never know xD

[@Quickcall]

Is that one of those new fancy new civil defense dogs? I heard Whelen was comming out with one of those. Pretty fancy, haha

[@MrEd30]

It's hurting the dog's ears! That's why they react that way.
