Dogs are human being’s best pals', they are intelligent and sensible creatures with and have a special ability to connect with their surroundings and their ‘hooman’ companions. These furry friends respond to commands and sense emotions, and not only this but they also have a sensitive hearing ability through which they can receive frequencies that the human ear is immune to.
They often communicate through their body language, barks, wheenings, and actions, which shows that they have a deeper awareness of their environment than we might realize. In recent years, viral videos of dogs reacting to music or certain stimuli have brought to attention just how tuned-in dogs can be with their emotions and surroundings. A video recently went viral, featuring a German Shepherd named Ragnar, whose response to a devotional song left viewers amazed.
What totally won the viewer’s hearts was his priceless reaction to the sound of the Hanuman Chalisa playing on his pet parent's television. Initially, Ragnar was lounging lazily on the floor, showing no interest in the songs his owner played. However, when the iconic devotional tune filled the room, something surprising happened.
The video, shared by Instagram user ‘Thebanjaaraboy’, begins with Ragnar casually resting under the television. As his pet parent turned on the TV, Ragnar stayed indifferent to the first couple of songs, which included SRK’s ‘Lutt Putt Gaya’ from the movie 'Dunk' and Kailash Kher’s ‘Bam Lahiri’ from Shor in the City. Despite the upbeat rhythms of these songs, Ragnar remained unmoved, lying peacefully on the floor without so much as a twitch in his ears.
However, everything changed when the Hanuman Chalisa began to play. The moment the familiar devotional tune filled the room, Ragnar’s entire demeanor shifted. He stood up, looked towards the TV, and began “singing” the prayer in his own doggy voice. It was as if Ragnar had suddenly woken up from his nap, drawn to the sacred melody, and decided to join in, completely changing his vibe which looked surprising and hilarious too.
The German Shepherd, who had previously been disinterested in the music, now seemed entirely engaged. He sat down on the floor like a performer ready to sing, moving to the rhythm of the song. His actions clearly showed how connected and sensitive dogs can be to certain sounds, possibly the ones with deep spiritual or emotional significance.
The video has quickly gone viral, gathering over 11.4 million views. Viewers were completely drawn by Ragnar’s unexpected reaction and commented on how adorable and adorable Ragnar’s response was to the prayer.
