Dogs are affectionate and delightful creatures, and they become even more captivating when exposed to music. One pet owner recently made this discovery after playing George Michael’s Careless Whisper to her dog for the first time, with his response proving absolutely priceless.

The dog, named Sheldon, heard the track recently and reacted in the most endearing manner imaginable, suggesting he possesses a genuine appreciation for music and potentially George Michael’s compositions specifically. Since footage of the moment emerged online, viewers have been left astonished, expressing how it’s deepened their affection for animals even further.

As the track plays for Sheldon, he’s observed gazing and listening intently before leaping onto his owner’s lap to move nearer. He approaches right up to her face, prompting her to acknowledge George Michael was a “hit” with her beloved pet.

The footage sparked considerable discussion as viewers simply cannot fathom how charming it is. He evidently cannot get enough.

One person said: “Sheldon said ‘I like this, let me hear more’.” Another added: “Oh bless. So adorable.”

A third replied: “Sheldon gave such a cute reaction. Love the hop up.” Meanwhile, a fourth commented: “Such an adorable reaction. Love it.”

One more also wrote: “Oh my god. I have to try this.” Unsurprisingly, numerous viewers adored it, expressing eagerness to attempt the experiment with their own dogs as well.

Do dogs like music?

What you may not realise is that dogs are widely believed to enjoy music, though they are said to possess particular tastes. They typically prefer calming classical, reggae or soft rock.

Studies indicate music can alleviate stress, ease separation anxiety and promote relaxation, especially in shelters or at the vet. Conversely, heavy metal or intense music may trigger agitation.

Given that Careless Whisper is quite a mellow song, this could explain why Sheldon appears to appreciate it so much. Not to mention, George Michael possessed a remarkably calming voice as well.

It follows a trend that has swept across social media whereby pet owners film videos featuring dogs listening to Careless Whisper by George Michael. There are occasions where it has prompted dramatic, soulful responses from pets, possibly owing to the track’s legendary saxophone riff.

Certain TikTok and Instagram trends feature dogs “lip-syncing,” donning dramatic costumes or simply appearing contemplative. It has genuinely exploded in recent months.

Sheldon represents just one example amongst numerous dogs who have been filmed. He especially appears to adore the music though.

As fans eagerly await the official new James Bond film, there’s another incarnation of the character launching next month.

And now the latest Bond adventure’s theme song has launched within the opening credits,which you can watch below.

Lana Del Rey sings the original song called First Light, which she composed with David Arnold, who previously scored for five Bond films, including Casino Royale.

The singer also previously pitched a Bond theme for 2015’s Spectre, but that went to Sam Smith in the end, but now she’s had her turn.

Listening to her sultry track over the 007 First Light opening credits with all those powerful Bond horns, sweeping strings and familiar electric guitar “glangs”, it may as well be the Amazon movie reboot. Certainly, the graphics and font are very reminiscent of the Craig era, which fits with Arnold’s background.

007 First Light releases on May 27, 2026 for Playstation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, while a Nintendo Switch 2 port will follow later in the year.
