On the Fourth of July every year, people across the United States get pumped for a day off, some hot dogs, and of course a great fireworks show.
Or at least, the humans look forward to it. While Independence Day is a fun holiday it can be a nightmare for dogs who are afraid of fireworks. There are going to be some anxious pups and worried owners trying to calm them down.
But one incredibly chill dog is proof that you and your dog can make it through the holiday worry-free.
On the Fourth of July in 2016, a 6-year-old golden retriever named Joey was frightened by the fireworks going on around his California home.
His owner, Emily Kuang, wasn’t surprised by her dog’s behavior.
“He’s afraid of cats and loud noises,” Emily told Buzzfeed News, describing him as “a big dog but also a big baby.”
