RADIO STATION FOR DOGS: Time to boogie. PHOTO: S. SIVA SARAVANAN

A Thai entrepreneur has launched the world's first Internet radio station for dogs. DogRadio.com features barking human DJs playing round-the-clock music with no ad breaks. The station's owner, Anupan Boonchuen, insists that music can affect the way dogs behave. "I've noticed that dogs often respond to music. Some wag their tails. Some lift their heads while lying on the floor," he said. "At my grooming school we found that when we turned on the music the dogs' mood improved. They were more obedient and let us trim their hair easily." Mr Boonchuen has hired 10 students from the grooming school to work as DJs: "He or she must be good at barking because dogs are our listeners — the DJs may have to make different sounds, such as whining or barking."
