Mini Goldendoodle Listening To Celine Dion Is A Total Vibe
Celine Dion is the queen of adult contemporary music, having built her decades-long career on belting out power ballads like "Because You Loved Me" and the blockbuster "My Heart Will Go On" from the record-breaking movie "Titanic." She has plenty of human fans, but did you know that dogs dig her, too? Well, at least this one dog on TikTok does, whose immersive mood is a total vibe when it's listening to the Canadian crooner.

Sitting at the kitchen island with its chin resting on the countertop, Macie the mini goldendoodle's eyes are closed while soaking up the song playing in the background, Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." Aside from an ever-so-slight peek at the camera zooming in, the doggy seems completely serene listening to Celine.
With over 2 million views, commenters ran to their keyboards to weigh in on the pup's mellow demeanor. "Precious is going THROUGH IT," said one passerby, as another stated, "We dream of reaching this level of Zen." Meanwhile, several watchers noted a wine bottle in the foreground, with one saying, "The wine bottle really adds to this." But the most underrated comment simply read: "Celine Diog 🐶." The pup is certainly taking center stage here!
Do dogs enjoy music?
When it comes to music, dogs can enjoy it, but they tend to have very particular tastes. Science has told us which animals like music and which don't, with dogs gravitating toward calming genres such as classical and soft rock. Those are the most appealing to pups because they can help reduce stress and anxiety. On the other hand, intense music like heavy metal may have the opposite effect, making our canine friends feel more agitated or restless instead of relaxed.
One reason certain types of music work so well for dogs is the tempo, a 2020 study in Animals showed. Slow, steady rhythms can help activate a dog's relaxation response, lowering their heart rate and making it easier for them to settle down. Since dogs have much more sensitive hearing than humans, volume is important too, with moderate to low levels being best for maximum enjoyment, as certain audio frequencies can be painful to dogs' ears.
Sometimes, veterinarians, animal shelters, and doggy daycares use calming music to help dogs relax and cope with separation anxiety when they're left alone. A little music can go a long way toward creating a soothing environment for your pup. Just ask Macie!
