Explanation why pets disappear on the 4th of July
“More pets go missing on July 4th than any other day of the year.” The Oconee Humane Society says there’s a simple explanation why that is so. Humans enjoy fireworks, but the sound and flickering lights terrify normally calm pets. The Humane Society recommends bringing all pets–especially dogs–inside and create a safe place for them to stay during fireworks celebrations. And never even think about taking pets to fireworks shows. July 4 fireworks are synonymous with mom and apple pie. But July 5 is often the busies day for animal shelters in the country.
