Hey y'all. We love our doggos as much as the next dog person, but sometimes we are just amazed at the lengths that people go through to show their dogs how much they love them. Like this Reddit user for example, he loves his doggo so much that he tries to express that love through writing epic parody songs with his dog's name inserted into them and the results are truly hilarious. Unfortunately, his dog seems less impressed than us by his owner's awesome parody song skills. 

This dog owning Reddit user decided to turn to reddit to request advice on how to encourage his doggo to appreciate the parody songs that are written for him with so much love, and the results are quite amusing. Some suggest dimming the lights and creating an atmosphere more conducive to love and appreciation, others chimed into to let this Reddit user know that he is not alone and that they also create unappreciated parody songs for their own doggos. We laughed our way trough this one and just had to share. Enjoy!

    Hair - My dog does not appreciate (and largely ignores) the parody songs I write for him

    Font - 5yo mixed breed, his name is Hank. I spend a lot of time creating parodies of popular songs with custom lyrics about Hank. For example, "Sweet Hank of Mine" (Sweet Child O' Mine), and "Tiny Hankers" (Tiny Dancer). To name a few.

    Font - Unfortunately, he does not respond (or pretends not to care) about these songs. I thought it was a familiarity issue at first, so I played the originals for him in the car just so he would get to know them. Then I followed him around the house singing them. He only looked at me with his head turned to the side. He did not look happy or appreciative at all. In fact, when I hit the high notes on the chorus of Tiny Hankers, he actually left the room.

    Font - It is extremely frustrating, I spend a lot of time thinking about these songs and he doesn't even care. I even got out my piano the other day to play him a new one ("Purple Hank") and he yawned and then fell asleep. Any advice? I am really struggling here. Thank you!

    Font - RegalBeagleBouncer 19 days ago I also am a dog song parodist. I have many. I like to sing, "Her name is Violet, she is a good girl. She's got spots on her nose and keeps me on my toes. She liked to play, play, and go on walkies," to the tune of the Copacabana. I usually sing it while I'm petting her softly, and she's learned that singing means relaxing. I had a long time foster named Jelly Bean, and I used to sing, "They call her smelly Jelly." To the tune of Mellow Yellow. She still gets

    Font - catdogwoman 19 days ago Mellow Yellow is the base song for my Cooper! I'm just wild about Cooper, Cooper's wild about me... They call him Super Cooper, that's right... I'm not very inventive.

    Font - Buzz1ight 19 days ago It is unfortunate that many dogs are not attuned to the arts. Some intensive snack and petting sessions while singing for him will over time associate your art with a good happy feeling. Eventually he will come running when you start singing. Be warned though, you must have snacks handy when you want to sing otherwise he may voice his displeasure.

    Font - [deleted] 19 days ago Consider a different instrument. My dog loves when I play the squeaky toy. Maybe you need to incorporate snacks, you know like dinner and a show. Try dimming the lights to improve the atmosphere. Just some thoughts!

    Font - SnooPeppers1641 19 days ago So advice but I relate. Maybe it's a mixed breed thing because my girl doesn't appreciate my rendition of Sadie Bells (Silver Bells) in any way shape or form. She just looks at me like "give me my treat and shut it lady." It's sad really.
