Dogs + Helium = ?

    Ok, so I was just talking with my dad and we somehow got on the subject of inhaling helium. Have you ever thought of how it would sound if a dog inhaled helium? How would it sound when it barked? I personally think it would resemble an oompa-loompa's voice; you know the little orange men from Willy Wonka? On a deeper note, how would it sound if an oompa-loompa inhaled helium? Wow.... Did you know that the reason your voice is higher when you inhale helium is because it's lighter than air and it flows over your vocal cords faster; causing you voice to have a higher pitch? Atleast that is what I was told. If any of you ever happen to try giving a dog helium please let me know what it sounds like when it barks:) Ok.... I just got really dissapointed because I youtubed "Oompla Loompa Voice" and it wasn't high.... some of them actually had really low voices. So I guess my thinking that they had high pitched voices was just my imagination. I actually have a video of me speaking in a really high voice (which we call my "oompa loompa voice" for some reason) now that I think about it. It's real to, no pitch change or anything:) I will do my best to see if I can post the audio for your personal enjoyment:) (because I know how much you all want to hear that).
