>>With just its teeth and front claws, it ripped a hole in the cedar siding, through the exterior plywood sheathing, through the insulation and most of the way through the interior drywall by the time she got back home.
LOL. Our dogs ain't afraid of a bit of noise and get excited at the thought of hunting when they hear fireworks.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
