AN ADORABLE dog has been caught on camera “singing” along to the iconic New Year’s ballad of Auld Land Syne.
Five year-old Fabio was filmed by his doting owner Esther Foxton on New Year’s day as the bagpipe version of the Robert Burns tune came on.
Esther, from Sauchie, Clackmannanshire, pu the music on as the cute pooch sat on her lap.
According to his owner, the talented canine has been “singing” since he was four months old after hearing a siren from an ambulance.
However, it’s the first time Fabio has heard the bagpipes and he could stop himself from joining in.
Posting the short clip online of her beloved dog, Esther wrote: “Ma wee dog singing to auld lang syne.”
At the start of the clip, Fabio can seen sitting on Esther’s lap as the music begins to play in the background.
Hearing the tune and drone of the bagpipe, he then lifts his head up into the air and begins to howl along.
Appearing to almost hit the right note at times Fabio appears to be loving the classic Scottish anthem.
Showing his ability to hold a note, he appears to get more and more excitable as the song goes before the music is eventually switched off.
Speaking about Fabio, Esther said: “He does it all the time. He’s always loved singing and will sing to anything.
“He’s done it since he was a pup and the first time he made the noises was when an ambulance went past with it’s sirens on when he was four months old.”
The footage has since gone viral after being posted by Esther on social media, where it has received nearly 400 likes and almost 50 comments and shares.
Marcia Gordon said: “Carries a tune better than me!”
Bobbie Ryan Arrowsmith wrote: “ And at times in tune. Brilliant.”
Shirley Williamson posted: “Aw Esther this is so cute. He must have Scottish blood. Love it.”
Ruby Scott said: “Omg that is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.”
Marion Arkison posted: “Aww so cute and a great singer.”
Auld Lang Syne was written by famed Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1788. It is known worldwide and is traditionally sung to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on Hogmanay, or New Year’s eve.
