If you’re someone who struggles to get your day started, one piece of advice to help make it easier is to create a routine. Nothing complicated is necessary, and it can be as simple as getting a cup of coffee first thing or as fun as beginning your day with a song. Even better if you have someone who can return the same energy and start the mornings off with a full performance.
We see that play out with an adorable Mini Dachshund who is happy to start his days off joyfully singing with his mom. It helps both of them move from a tired haze to being fully ready to get things done, and his confident singing and perfect timing make the moment feel like a personal concert. It’s wholesome, funny, and a delightful way to wake up. Take a look!
On February 2, @sebbythesausage shared a video of Sebastian, nicknamed Sebby, a Mini Dachshund, who loves to start his mornings singing a song with his mama. In the clip, we learn that he’s very chatty, and as his mama says “good morning” to him, he’s already breaking into his happy-to-see-you song, while his tail wags in total joy.

Why Do Dogs Like To Sing to Music?
We can probably all agree that Sebastian is a fantastic singer, and he seems to know the perfect time to chime in and sing at the top of his lungs. But have you ever wondered why dogs do this? Specifically, why do dogs howl to music? Experts say it really comes down to their DNA.
According to the American Kennel Club, one of the most widely held reasons dogs sing is that howling is in their genes and dates back to their earliest ancestors, the wolves. The organization explains that singing in groups (or in this pup’s case, singing with them and their mama) is a way to communicate and depends on their companionship. Your pup is likely deliberately joining in the fun and tuning their voice to be in a similar pitch zone as they would if you were both wolves thousands of years ago.
Good job, Sebastian. So glad it’s such a fun part of your mornings!
