Cudi the Puppy's Firetruck Siren Howl Goes Viral

The 9-month-old dog's instinctive response to a firetruck siren captivates millions on TikTok, highlighting the enduring charm of our canine companions and their deep-seated instincts.

  • Cudi, a 9-month-old puppy, has become a viral sensation after his owner, Corey Mannicci, posted a video on TikTok of Cudi howling in response to a firetruck siren.
  • The video, posted on January 9th, has amassed over 2.2 million views and more than half a million likes.
  • Dogs' instinctual howling is typically attributed to their ancestral ties to wolves, who use howling as a form of communication or to signal a potential threat.
  • While Cudi's howling has charmed the internet, experts note that excessive howling can be problematic and suggest ignoring the behavior or rewarding silence with treats or praise.
  • Cudi's selective howling suggests that it's not a frequent behavior, as he is known to howl only in response to firetruck sirens.
