Don't be surprised if your dog starts begging for an iPod.
This past Christmas the New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals (SPCA) recorded a CD at a frequency only audible to dogs as part of a holiday fund raiser.
The song, "A Very Silent Night," is the first of its kinda and topped the charts in New Zealand, raising more than $17,000. It may now be sold in the United States and Australia. Read the Reuters' story here.
Here's the music video:
According to comments about the song on the Baltimore Sun Mutts blog, the CD had no effect on their pups. But according to Bob Kerridge, chief executive of SPCA, some dogs have reacted violently when hearing the song.
Perhaps the song just didn't work with YouTube or maybe American dogs are not that interested -- or it could just be one big, clever hoax.

I'm thinking "hoax," but it sure is a cute hoax. Dinah, who is lying right under my desk, didn't even blink when I cranked the audio up to full blast. The boys, who can hear me thinking about going to the frisge for a snack, didn't even react.
