Music doesn't just affect humans. They also have a soothing effect on animals. And through his music, Martin Agee, a professional violinist, helps soothe shelter dogs who have suffered from abuse. Watch him as he performs classical music, from the likes of Bach, Handel, and Mozart, for rescue dogs at ASPCA.
Every few weeks, Agee carries his violin to the shelter’s Animal Recovery Center, which houses animals coping with medical and behavioral issues stemming from cruelty and neglect.
Often, dogs herald his arrival with barking, jumping and general chaos. Then he sits in a chair and begins to play soothing sonatas by classical composers like Bach, Handel and Mozart.
