Do you have to duet? Huskies start howling to a favourite song as their unimpressed Retriever pal looks on

  • Two Huskies filmed singing along to Billy Joel as unimpressed Retriever watches 
  • Nico, seven, and Jackson, six, howl as Retriever Zoey, five, pulls a pained face 
  • Owner Chris Boudens, 30, from British Columbia, Canada, shot the video clip

An owner has shared a clip of his musical Huskies howling along to Billy Joel’s Piano Man, whilst their Golden Retriever friend looks less than impressed at the racket. 

Chris Boudens, 30, from Fernie, British Columbia, Canada, pulled out his camera to capture the video of his two Huskies singing along to the classic 70s tune, as their Golden Retriever chum, Zoey, pulls a disapproving face. 

The dogs Nico, seven, and Jackson, six, who are brothers, have been howling at music since they were puppies, and often encourage each other to begin the musical performance.

Mr Boudens, a carpenter, said: ‘Once one gets going the other gets going and they don’t stop.’  

He said that the Huskies favoured songs with certain instruments, including the Billy Joel hit and some songs by the Lumineers.

The owner added: ‘The harmonica gets them going for sure.

‘They have certain songs that they’ve always howled to since they were puppies, every time they heard it like ‘Piano Man’ and a couple of songs from The Lumineers.’

The musical dog duet were introduced to their quieter friend, Zoey, five, when her owner began dating Mr Boudens. 

Mr Boudens said: ‘She doesn’t seem like she minds, but she does give you that look like she would rather it not be going on. 

‘She’ll look at you or she’ll smile. She usually anticipates a treat after she sits through that, so she gets a reward for it.’

Even with all of the howling, Mr Boudens said that Zoey is the boss of the bunch and that they are all best buddies.

He added: ‘They seem like they’re a handful in the video, but they’re pretty quiet at home.

‘They get out a lot and we go fishing, snowboarding and hiking with them.’
