You should be happy. The dog thinks of you either as the leader, or a high ranking member of the pack, so you howl, he howls.
Howling is a throwback from your dog's wolf lineage. Wolves howl together as a form of pack bonding. They learn each others' howls, and use those howls as a means of communication when hunting or checking their territory for intruders. Wolves volley howls to keep in touch with other pack members. It's their way of saying, "I'm here, where are you?"
Group howling helps reinforce those vital social bonds, so when your dog howls with you, he's really reinforcing his bond with you.
However, there are inanimate objects that will cause a dog to howl-- like sirens or music instruments. This is because the pitch and harmonics produced trigger those howling instincts. It's like salivating when you smell something delicious. We're ingrained to perform certain functions based on environmental stimuli.
