Has the Rachel Maddow show gone to the dogs?

Last night, Rachel Maddow tackled a question that all dog owners would like to know the answer to – why do dogs get so excited at some TV theme songs?  While our dogs have never gotten excited about Law and Order, our English Mastiff Maggie used to go nuts if anyone tried to watch the Colbert Report.  She really, really hated the screeching eagle sound and would come running at the TV from a sound sleep.  Which meant, of course, that all the other dogs would come running right behind her – not exactly what you want at 11:30 at night!

What theme songs do your dogs go nuts for?  Tell us in the comments section!
