A music-loving dog can't help but "sing" along when its owner plays the piano.<br /><br />Videos show Ashton Biggs, 21, and her 10-year-old pooch named Goose performing together to hits like Bohemian Rhapsody or Hallelujah.<br /><br />As Ashton plays the tunes on her piano, Goose, a Treeing Walker Coonhound, sits and howls along. <br /><br />Ashton says that Goose hadn't even heard a piano properly until during the pandemic in 2020, but since then their duets have become a regular occurrence.<br /><br />Ashton, a full time student from Nacogdoches, Texas, USA, said: "One day I had started playing the piano for fun when he happened to be in the house and he approached the piano and started howling with his beautiful bay.<br /><br />"From then on, it became a routine! Every time I played, he had to sing."<br /><br />Ashton has tried a variety of different songs on the piano for Goose.<br /><br />Drops of Jupiter by Bruno Mars, Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen and House of the Rising Sun by The Animals are just a few of Goose's favourites.<br /><br />But nothing beats his reaction to his all time favourite song- Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.<br /><br />Remarkably, Goose has always been able to show Ashton which songs he preferred by his body language.<br /><br />She said: "As I learned more songs, he started to show favouritism to some songs over others.<br /><br />"When I play anything on the piano he will sing, but when I play a song he loves his tail wags more enthusiastically.<br /><br />"He'll tilt his head back, close his eyes and his bays are much longer and more drawn out.<br /><br />"He tends to match the pitch more accurately too."<br /><br />When Goose first started joining in with Ashton when she played the piano, she couldn't believe it.<br /><br />Goose has always hated loud noises - whether it be fireworks, gun shots or clapping hands.<br /><br />But when it came to the piano, it was a different story.<br /><br />Ashton said: "At first I thought it was a fluke, like a one-and-done scenario but it kept happening.<br /><br />"Eventually, we would wake up and he would run to the piano and start barking and screaming for me to play. <br /><br />"Once I play, and he gets to sing for a little bit, he would go outside and carry on with the rest of his day! <br /><br />"Other times it wasn’t possible for me to play enough."<br /><br />Being a music major in college has also meant that Ashton has been able to experiment with other instruments.<br /><br />Goose isn't a fan of the trumpet or any other brass instruments, but does sing along to the guitar every now and then.<br /><br />She said: "I’m assuming he doesn't like these instruments because they are very bright and loud and produce frequencies that hurts his ears.<br /><br />"He likes the guitar, but he isn't as enthusiastic about it as the piano. <br /><br />"Goose is much more of a string-based instruments dog than a wind instruments dog."
