If there is one downside of having a dog as a pet, it is that dogs like humans can be scared of noises like firecrackers and thunder.
Gigi who is a one year old Bernese mountain dog was in her master’s home in Rockland Massachusetts on Tuesday evening when Gigi was scared when she heard a firecracker on the eve of the Fourth Of July celebration.
Gigi managed to run away from her Rockland on Tuesday evening due to the loud noise of a firecracker. Her owner Alicia Copeland was very sad that her worst fears would come true that her pet could be either kidnapped or rubbed out by a stranger.
Alicia used the power o social media as well as flyers that were placed in her neighborhood and surrounding areas in Rockland.
Alicia did hire pet detective Jaime Genereux who works in the New England region with the assistance of her pet Black Labrador Retriever named Dexter.
Thanks to the work of Jaime Genereux and Dexter, they were able to find Gigi safe and sound on Saturday during the daytime in the neighborhood.
To put it mildly, Jaime was very happy that pet detective Genereux and Dexter were present when Gigi reunited with her owner. Alicia cried tears of joy when she reunited with her dog after a four day separation.
Alicia admitted that the loss of Gigi was very stressful since she had fears that her dog would never see her owner again after she fled from home on Tuesday evening.
I agree with you tasartcraft.
In the US, more pets run away on July 4th than any other day of the year
I did not know that since all of my dogs who are deceased with the exception of my current dog, have yet to run away from home on the Fourth Of July.
it is just a statistic, not a predictive model…
That is true since the Fourth Of July according to some underground pro wrestling newsletter states that many retired or active pro wrestlers lose their lives either by an illness or an accidental death.
Statistics are just an expression of probability, nothing more…
Alex is right, the shelters are the fullest on July 5th than any other day in the year. The noise form the fireworks scares them.
it is like the end of the world for some pets; they can’t understand what is going on and their flight instinct takes over
You are correct since dogs go on instincts and fireworks and thunder can scare them just like humans get scared of the sounds like thunder.
Yes it is always sad for me every year. I wish fireworks could be banned.
I wish we lived in a world where that could actually be a concern of mine
I agree with you on this matter. However many businesses who sells fireworks would be very upset.
My beagle is scared of the New Year’s fever and ends up next to me in the room, looking for a distant place from the noise.
Dog to your picture is really nice.
I can see why Gigi is loved by Alicia Copeland since her dog is cute as a button.
I can see why Gigi’s owner loves her so much.
Gorgeous dogs, I love BMDs. Big ole gentle giants. Glad he found his way home, social media works in lost pets for sure and hiring a pet detective would be awesome in cases like this. There is a bridle Bull Mastiff here still missing after the fourth.
My pleasure to share these good stories.
