Fireworks can mess up a dog faster than anything! Fireworks scare puppies and dogs.

Keep your dogs and puppies as far away from fireworks as possible. Make sure your dog has the proper ID. Your lost dog can't call you, and neither can anyone else that can't identify that the dog belongs to you! More dogs are lost on the 4th of July than any other

day.
