Great post Catherine!
In England people also let off fireworks for Halloween.
Even if their own dogs/cats are inside or are not scared of fireworks, it's wise to think of neighbours, and inform them first if there's going to be a fireworks party, so they can secure their animals.
Horses are often even more scared than some dogs. A few years ago a neighbour of mine was frantic, as someone had a big fireworks party, and didn't let them know. Her horse was hysterical, and one of her dogs so terrified he leapt the fence! Luckily, they found him just after dawn sitting by the side of a road about a mile away. He was obviously, overjoyed to come home for breakfast and sleep the day away.
But it could have had a very tragic ending.
