Man Serenades Pit Bull Puppies to Sleep, and It’s Heart-Melting! [Video]

Doo-wop classic “Goodnight Sweetheart” was first recorded by The Spaniels, but this litter of pit bull pups seems to like it just the same. The singer performing in this video is clearly no pro, but his calm tone does the trick, coaxing these barking babies to dreamland in no time.

Research from Queens University in Belfast confirms that dogs respond to different types of music the same way that humans do, so it’s no surprise that an old-time lullaby would calm these pups to some extent. But to transform them from hyper to tranquil in under a minute? It just has to be seen to be believed.

I’ll have to try this trick with my yearling Jack Russell mix next time she’s running around in circles at the dog park. I invite you to do the same thing with your own wound-up pets. Leave a comment and let me know what happens!
