As soon as he hears the theme song to "Law and Order" he howls. But only to the theme song of the old "Law and Order" (80's and 90's) Other then that, I can play all kinds of music, even if its similar, he doesn't react. He could be sleeping in the next room, but as soon as he hears the "dum dum" he sits right in front of the TV and howls. Anybody got a reasonable explanation or clue?

I have a Black Lab too, they can not be figured out, my dog surprises me every day with his intelligence and great personality. I think it's really funny that he picked Law and Order to haul too, hilarious. Try singing to him and see what happens, my dogs all howl when I sing..

Your Theme Song is Back in Black by AC/DC "Back in black, I hit the sack, I've been too long, I'm glad to be back" Things tend to get really crazy for you, and sometimes you have to get away from all the chaos. But each time you stage your comeback, it's even better than the last! :)

You should do a science project with him. Play him the theme songs from these shows:
NYPD Blue
L.A. Law
Hunter
The Commish
NewsRadio
Blossom
Hill Street Blues
The A-Team
The Greatest American Hero
Magnum, P.I.
Doogie Howser, M.D.
Quantum Leap
Remington Steele
Renegade
Silk Stalkings
Wise Guy
See how he reacts to each of theme. Perhaps he's just really into the musical compositions of Mike Post.

I don't have any idea how that song goes, but maybe he associates the song with siren sounds. Dogs have very sensitive ears, as you know. A siren sound literally hurts their ears, because they are very sensitive to sounds. A lot of dogs start howling whenever they hear it, because it's a very high-pitched sound.

Some dogs howl habitually at noises that are unusual to them. My black lab used to howl at police sirens - not fire trucks, mind you, just police sirens. Other than that, he was quiet as a mouse. Even coyotes howling couldn't get him started.
One expert says, if your dog howls during music, he's just sining along, showing he's part of the "pack".

My blk lab recently started howling at bathroom tissue commercials and paper towel commercials ( specially the one with the blue winged fairy). She also howls at some insurance commercials. Go figure....sometimes I howl along with her....lol

Isn't there a siren in there somewhere, maybe towards the end. Maybe she howls first before the other dogs, or what she thinks are dogs, at the end.

Because it is the only way he can release the inevitable tension caused by the "dum dum"s as the show progresses.
Come on, you know we're all on the edge of our seats everytime we hear that sound. You're dog is just a huge fan. :)

My cocker spaniel did this too, to the opening theme song to The Young and the Restless when I was growing up. It was only the intro song, but not the closing theme song, which sounded the same to me. Are we being warned by our faithful pets of subliminals?

He watches the show too much. Every so often, I do the same thing.
