The Siren

Those who have frequented the J house know of one wiley beagle who, on occassion jacks his head up in the air and lets out a bay that could wake the dead. We have often joked about this habit of his by calling him a siren and on occasion an asshole. Yesterday, though, a real siren (a tornado siren) blasted outside loud enough to wake Bru from his mid morning nap. Confused, the groggy beagle stood up on the frame of our couch and stared out into space. Then, for no apparent reason, he stuck out his neck and began to mimick the sound letting out a low ooooooohhhhhhh (as opposed to the normally loud WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!). This got me wondering, did he think that the tornado siren was a long lost family member and if so, what kind of communication strategy is an oooohhhhhhhhhh?

Apart from all that, it was one of the cutest moments of his life. Just thought I would share.
