Photo gallery: Pets relaxing to RNZ Concert's soothing sounds for Guy Fawkes
Remy's owner says it's the 10-month-old Spoodle's first Guy Fawkes and he's definitely not sure about it, but he's safe at home listening to the concert with humans to keep him company. Photo: Supplied
All the music has been chosen to calm pets inside on Guy Fawkes night in case they're spooked by the loud noises and flashes of light.
The show will include music written for animals such as 'Mina' by Edward Elgar for his beloved Cairns terrier. 'The Swan' from Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns and 'Scene by the Brook' from Beethoven's Pastoral. We haven't forgotten farm animals either, with 'Sheep May Safely Graze', by Johann Sebastian Bach.
Thank you from my bunnies Jasper (white and grey) and Piper (ginger) in Auckland. Piper isn’t fazed by the fireworks but our tripod boy Jasper is, normally he’s hiding in his tunnel trembling but tonight he’s chilling and even eating. Photo: Supplied
This is Nellie from Eastbourne. A month ago she got spooked by a freak, ferocious thunderstorm. She was then missing for nearly 2 weeks in the bush in the hills behind Eastbourne. We are very lucky she came back though exhausted and very thin. We are anxious to prevent another escape as she also hates fireworks, so she’s listening to the special concert programme.
