Pedigree conducted (excuse the pun) an experiment to see what would happen if dogs wagging their tails conducted an orchestra – and the results are amazing. The music produced allows a glimpse into what it feels like to experience our dog’s emotions. Sit back, and get ready to brighten up your day!
The Process
The Polish Orchestra and their conductor readily sit with their instruments as different dogs take center stage. The adorable pups are then presented with various stimuli to provoke their emotions, which means different levels of tail wagging as a result. For example, a treat provoked highly happy and excited tail wags from the dogs.
Dog Tail Wagging and Their Emotions
Dogs express their emotions by wagging their tails, allowing humans to read the emotions they are experiencing. An excited happy pup may wag their tail fast and upright. Big, strong, and broad tail wags usually indicate a friendly dog, while a reluctant or anxious pup may wag its tail in strong, small motions.
Orchestra Interpretation
The orchestra interpreted the dogs’ energy from their tails – a quick wagging tail meant that they would play louder and quicker. While a slow low tail meant that they would play softer and slower. Of course, there were many moments of giggles and confusion as the pups’ tails surprised them and the music they were playing.
The Result
As you would expect, the improvisation of the music conducted by the dogs’ tails was sometimes irregular and messy. However, for the most part, masterpieces were created! You can listen to the results on this Spotify playlist, and for every stream, a donation is made to the Pedigree Foundation.
