 Well, dogs don't have a lot of fun on July 4th night. You may be cheering those fireworks even as your furry friends are scared. While many people love them, dogs, when it comes to fireworks, don't always do. It is not uncommon for dogs to absolutely break out of the house and run away because of the fireworks noises. Dr. Mark Freeman with the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Virginia Tech says if you know your dog's going to be scared, make sure their collar is always on with your contact information and that their microchip information is updated. When you hear fireworks, first keep them inside.
