Vets with PTSD also suffer on these nights. I myself am not a vet, but I do have anxiety and I really hate all the noise and explosions aspects of Independence Day, kind of like your poor puppers. It's great to celebrate our country and everything, but I usually have to just put on headphones for those nights to escape the noise. I sort of wish there was a different way we could celebrate independence Day here in America, between all the pets, vets, or people like me who the sounds really get to.
