New BBC radio show will broadcast half an hour of Labrador noises

This is actually fur real

Dog-lovers can relax themselves by listening to a new radio show which will take them through a day in the life of a Labrador. As part of its 'slow radio' project, BBC Radio 3 will follow the day in the life of Honey, a 15-year-old, fox-red Lab. Honey – A Day In The Life Of A Dog, is the name of the new show, which will capture the noises the Labrador makes and hears throughout her day. Sounds such as how a dog breathes while she dreams or the noise of the pooch rushing to greet the postman will be aired, the Daily Mail reports.

The 30-minute show will follow different parts of Honey's daily routine - from the excitement of breakfast time, to a wander around the garden, a stroll on the beach and an interaction with human friends.

The idea branched from 'slow television', which saw BBC4 create shows which took viewers on two-hour canal trips or watch how a simple glass jug is made. Previous 'slow radio' broadcasts on Radio 3 have included sounds of the Earth, a sound portrait of Riley Square in Coventry and contented Irish cattle. July is when Honey is coming to steal the show.
