Motivated by a desire to entertain man's closest friend, a Thai entrepreneur has launched an Internet radio station for dogs this week.
Anupan Boonchuen, director of a dog grooming school in Bangkok, said he launched Dog Radio Thailand on Wednesday because noticed that dogs seem happier when he plays music as he grooms them.
Often while Anupan's students practice grooming for the first time, they do not know how to handle the dogs. So during class, he said he plays music because it "puts the dogs in a good mood and they're more willing to let the groomers handle them."
The programming mainly consists of Thai pop music, but Anupan also plans to air programs in which the DJ will "talk to the dogs in Thai!"
"If we play a slow song, we may have the DJ howl ... because dogs howl, too, when they hear sad sounds," Anupan said.
An entrepreneur who thinks outside the kennel?
SORRY-SAD JOKE!
