During the walk, an ambulance can be heard driving passed nearby with its sirens wailing. 

Lamington can’t help but join in, howling along to the noises of the emergency vehicle. 

Shaun laughed at the way Lamington matched his pitch to the ambulance and kept going for as long as he could hear it.   

Lamington continues howling in the same pitch as the siren even after it cannot be heard in the clip anymore.

Once the ambulance siren was out of earshot, Shaun and his miniature schnauzer continued on their walk. 

One person commented on the clip: ‘This always happens with my dog! We like to think he was a police K-9 in his past life.’ 

Another wrote: ‘My four dogs howl every time they hear a old ambulance siren. But not all siren. Theres a specific sound that they howl to.’ 

A third said: ‘I thought my schnauzer was the only one to do this… He actually scares people he is so loud such a little guy but man he has power…’
