Howling is a long and noble tradition for dogs, going all the way back to their distant relative: the wolf. Wild wolves would howl as a form of GPS, and could locate other members of their pack through long, loud calls. Though domestic pups of today don't really have a need for these sorts of calls, they'll occasionally revert to their age-old customs and show off some of their impressive vocalizations - especially when they hear a sound that seems to mimic the howls of a wolf pack.

Here are some savvy little puppies who are already learning how to sound like big, tough wolves!
