Service Dog Reunites With Family After Being Spooked by 4th of July Fireworks

Fireworks during the 4th of July have been a tradition for most American households to celebrate the holiday. The problem is, this kind of practice is traumatizing to pets. Not only because it startles them, but also because firework explosions hurt their hyper-sensitive hearing.

A couple learned this lesson the hard way. Misty Gonzalez said, “We came home at 2:30 in the morning [the night Jetta the service dog got lost]. We were searching everywhere for her, we couldn’t find her, and so we cried ourselves to sleep basically. Then, the next morning, we got up at seven and started again.”

During holidays when the use of fireworks is popular, please remember to keep your pets in a dark and soundproof room with white noise like a radio broadcast. Your basement would be ideal.
