Jackson HATES them. He also hates gunshots (we live with a 90 acre farmfield behind us where they are constantly shooting birds, deer, whatever is in season). He goes and just hides under the bed. I brought Jackson to Gettysburg with me for Fourth of July and mistakenly thought he'd be okay with the fireworks since they were far away... he just did not like them. So I had to take him back to the hotel room and he hid under the chair until they were over. Poor guy.

My aunt's Lab died after having a heart attack over fireworks on 4th of July. She freaked herself out SO bad, ran away from home, and one of the neighbors caught her. By the time she got into the house, she had a spazm and died! Craziest thing ever. My uncles Siberian Husky also used to RUN... we lost her for over a day one time because she ran away.
