is looking to go global.
A Very Silent Night, recorded at a frequency only dogs can
hear, was so popular among owners it hit number one at
Christmas, but has been receiving mixed responses from
listeners.
"The most violent one was a dog that physically attacked
the radio when it was played and went quite berserk and totally
destroyed it," said Bob Kerridge, chief executive of animal
welfare group, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals (SPCA).
"On the other side of the scale, they just lie down and did
nothing." The charity CD, priced at NZ$4.99 ($3.93), contained
an instrumental and a vocal version of the song, but Kerridge
said he did not know what kind of music dogs would hear.
"Never having heard it myself, I don't know what they'll
hear and of course I don't know how dogs hear music," he said.
Kerridge added dogs in Australia and the United States
could soon have a listen.
Around NZ$22,000 ($17,300) has been raised by the disc's
sale.
