Each year I dread 4th of July, thunder storm activity or even a big win of a sports team, because my neighbors like to celebrate with explosive devices (Fireworks) that go on for hours all through the night.

My dog literally goes into complete 'Meltdown Mode" she hyper ventilates, shakes and runs around panting. It's like pure 'torture' for her as I'm sure for many other dogs as well.
