Why Fireworks?

[sistersue]

Dogs and humans are born with a natural fear of loud noises. The difference between the dogs and us is that we know the fireworks aren't going to hurt us, but dogs don't know they're not going to be blown up. A vet once told me that dogs' ears are so much more sensitive than ours that it causes actual physical pain in their eardrums - plus the fear. That's why I call the loud explosions animal cruelty. My dogs are not afraid of firecrackers or other legal fireworks - just the ridiculous explosions.
