A couple has been left in stitches after discovering their foster dog possesses a surprisingly refined—and highly opinionated—musical palate, with a particular distaste for the American rock band Creed.
The Moment of Musical Truth
The hilarious episode unfolded for dog lover Isabel Klee and her fiancé, who realised their foster pup, Whimsy, had strong feelings about their singing. In a now-viral TikTok video posted on November 24, 2025, Isabel explained that while Whimsy adored it when they sang to her, the mood shifted dramatically the moment her partner began singing Creed's 1999 hit, 'With Arms Wide Open'.
The video cuts to the couple on the sofa, where Whimsy immediately tries to burrow into Isabel's arms for comfort, placing a pleading paw on her arm as if to say, 'make it stop'.
Putting Canine Music Taste to the Test
Intrigued, the couple decided to conduct a proper experiment to rule out a simple fluke. The test involved Isabel's fiancé singing a variety of songs from different artists to gauge Whimsy's genuine reaction.
First, he sang a rendition of 'Bennie and the Jets', swapping out 'Bennie' for 'Whimsy'. The result was instant joy. The foster pup jumped off the sofa, wagging her tail enthusiastically, and followed him into the kitchen. The same positive reaction occurred with Blink-182's 'Miss You', especially when her name was incorporated into the lyrics.
The Undeniable Verdict on Creed
To confirm their suspicions, the test concluded with a return to the original culprit: the Creed song. As soon as the familiar opening lines were sung, Whimsy's demeanour soured. She remained on the sofa, looking over at the singer with clear disapproval before turning back to cuddle as close as possible to Isabel for solace.
'She's like 'mom make it stop',' Isabel can be heard laughing in the video. 'Oh my God, she really hates Creed.'
The video quickly amassed comments from viewers theorising why Whimsy held such a grudge against the band. Popular suggestions included that her name wasn't included in the Creed lyrics, or that the lower pitch of the song was unappealing compared to the higher-pitched tunes she enjoyed.
This charming story of a dog with very specific musical preferences highlights the unique and often hilarious personalities of our canine companions, proving that even if they can't speak, they certainly know how to make their opinions heard.
