My poor old faithful Rottweiler, Malia, became so upset last New Years because some idiot was setting off those house-shaking bombs, that she freaked out and ran down the street. Thank goodness my grandson was able to find her and bring her home. He had to carry her home and she weighs 85 pounds! This guy set off the bombs in the daytime so I didn't think it was time to bring her in. A vet once told me that fireworks actually cause physical pain in the dogs' ears, it's not just fear of the noise. I don't understand why these young "men" have to do pipe bombs. Why can't they just do the beautiful ariels? A real man wouldn't want to hurt a dog's ears. Not to mention, this "man" has his little kids in his yard when he does it! I wish he would blow out his own eardrum so he could see how it feels for the dogs.
