.... "Fireworks can be
terrifying for some cats and dogs, according to the Humane Society. Dogs
and cats tend to have super-sensitive ears, and the sounds of fireworks
going off can make them feel like they are under attack. They respond
by retreating, hiding and worse, running away. According to Humane
Society CEO Beth Ward, more dogs run away on the Fourth of July than on
any other day.

.... What's worse, most dogs
and cats are never reunited with their families, according to the
Humane Society. Instead, hundreds of lost and frightened pets end up at
an animal shelter, placing a sudden burden on staff to find space and
care for them all at once, according to the city of San Jose's Animal
Care Center director Jon Cicirelli.
.... • Pets should never be
left outside unattended during the fireworks, because even those that
normally would not leave a fenced-in yard may try to escape and get lost
and possibly injured or killed.
.... • The Humane Society
advises
anyone who comes across a lost animal to take it to the local
animal shelter immediately so that it has the best chance of being
reunited with its owners.
