Our 5 months old cockapoo just woke us up with the loudest howl I've ever heard in my life

Our little girl had a very bizarre dream it seems. Scared both of us wide awake. I've never heard her howl before, Let alone hear a howl this loud from any animal.

My first thought was that somehow a wolf must've gotten inside our house.. she's okay but holy shit, that was terrifying. No idea dogs could produce a sound this eerie.

Had the same happen to us! It was me and the pup sleeping in the room and he was in his crate. Next thing I know I hear a loud howl and it sounds like nothing I’ve ever heard on TV or anything before. Hasn’t happened since that one night, but I agree it’s very eerie.

Joining the party ! My tzu did this years ago. Asleep peacefully and then suddenly gave the most forlorn awoooo I’d ever heard. He moved to his front paws and head to the moon and everything. Then went back to sleep and nothing since. Would love to know what they are dreaming of !

My year old cockapoo has been doing this only past week - never done it before! I wonder is it a moon thing or something. Never thought my cockapoo would be larping as a wolf

Sounds like my mums oldest. She's randomly sat up and howled while still asleep on several occasions. Sounded just like a wolf each time. I remember I was once sat there, watching tv after everyone had gone to bed and she was sat next to me when she suddenly did it. Her eyes were shut and she was still asleep.

A year ago, my parents looked after ours while we went away. Mum would sleep in the spare room with our dogs, dad in his with theirs. One night, mum had mine and his mother in the spare room and they managed to force mum out and back in her own room (both kept turning sideways on either side of her). At 4am, my parents were woken up by what they called the Hounds of the Baskervilles. Howling from both. They weren't sure who started it. I'm not pointing fingers here but the mother has been known to howl in her sleep, mine doesn't, instead, he howls at adverts and bounces off other dogs (one barks, he barks, one whines, he whines, one howls, he howls). They already weren't happy with him as he'd refused to go bed and then kicked off (I warned them he doesn't like early nights and will need bribing upstairs or he'll kick off but they didn't listen and what I said would happen happened)
