When dogs get lonely， they like keeping themselves busy by making a big mess around the house. That’s why one German radio host， Stock， who also happens to be a dog owner came up with the idea for a program designed to relax dogs and make them feel like they aren’t alone.

Everyone thought it was just a clever April Fools trick （技法） at first. However， it wasn’t. For the past three and a half months， the German radio host has been playing music for lonely dogs both on the radio and online.

Stock says he was inspired to create the special program by his pet dog， Layla， who would sometimes get so bored when left alone that she would keep herself busy by making a big mess around the house. He managed to find a solution to the problem. He researched what kind of music is usually loved by dogs， and learnt that it should have as little electric guitar as possible， and should be very slow.

“It’s not about keeping dogs quiet，” Stock said. “It’s more about the dog feeling he’s not alone.” He adds that Layla isn’t anxious since listening to the music， and has become relatively quiet， even letting him have a sleep to the music from the radio.

If you’d like to see if it can calm your pet， the program can also be accessed （访问） online here. Just press the “play” arrow （箭头） at the top of the page and let the music work its music.

A. Shout loudly. B. Lie quietly.  C. Create surprise. D. Cause destruction.

2. What did people think of Stock’s program for dogs？
