Fireworks Hurt Dogs

if you did not know...... all dogs are scared and actually they are IN PAIN from IDIOTS making LOUD BOOM BOOM NOISES and thinking it funny. Humane societies and shelters typically take in more stray animals during the Fourth of July holiday because many pets are scared off by fireworks. Below are some tips to help pets cope with outdoor noises. Frightened dogs have different reactions: some tremble at their owners' feet, others retreat to a hiding place, some try to run off (traveling for miles), and others display bizarre behavior. According to behavior specialist Dr. Elizabeth Shull, low-frequency, percussive noises such as fireworks and summer thunderstorms trigger wild fear in about 20% of dogs. Under such circumstances, ordinarily well-behaved pets may become aggressive, destructive and/or unpredictable. more btw. today is NOT the 4th of JULY. it is JUNE 25. SEE the ASSHOLES having BBQ's ?
