Beagle Uses Soundboard to Ask Alexa for Playlist as Viral Clip Lifts Band Juice

Alexa responds to a 'Jude's Music' button, occasionally mishearing to Juice.

Overview

  • A pet-cam video on @heyjudethebeagel shows Jude pressing a custom button that says, "Alexa, play Jude's music," then settling to listen.
  • The Instagram post has surpassed 1 million views, drawing widespread attention to the dog's music routine.
  • Owner Michelle Marotta says she added the music button about a month ago after Jude signaled he wanted sound to relax.
  • Alexa sometimes plays the band Juice due to mishearing, and members Ben and Christian told Newsweek the exposure arrives as they work on a new project.
  • Media coverage credits a Fluent Pet soundboard for Jude's training, with reported claims of 86 words and prior studies on contextual button use noted as anecdotal.
