And my wife who had a dog growing up agrees (it scares the crap out of our cat too but who cares). They get over it and they have a tiny brain and just hide under the bed. We'll take our kids to a scary movie or to a haunted house but then crazy dog owners like yourself get all worked up more for a dog than them. But people like dogs more than kids these days so what should I suspect.

Note: People setting off fireworks past 11 are dumb and those that set off roman candles near fields etc.
