my girl has been surrounded by loud noises; cars, constructions machinery, etc. so fireworks are no big deal to her.

but a friends dog, maggie mae (lab/pit bull) is deathly afraid of them. the first time she saw them we were on vacation and she kept running off to hide. her owners put her shock collar on (cuz she runs off alot, they're tryin to get her to stop) so whenever a loud boom happened, she'd run off then get zapped!! poor maggie then put the 2 and 2 together and thought big boom equals ouchy zap !!! poor girl.
