12-year-old Texas kid Yuvi Agarwal goes to animal shelters and plays music for dogs.  In 2023, when he was 10, he noticed it had a calming effect on his own dog, so he thought other dogs might like it too.  With a little research, Yuvi discovered that music lowers stress hormones in pets, allowing them to relax and more easily connect with humans. Since then, he’s been working to share the program and help as many pets as possible. He looped in other musicians and started a charity called Wild Tunes.  They’re now performing at nine different shelters in Houston, Denver, and New Jersey.  (Here’s a video.)
