Not being a dog owner myself, I can't attest to this, but I hear that dogs and fireworks don't generally mix. However, what I can attest to is: There are at least two dogs out there who have mixed with fireworks and lived to tell the tale. Or tail. Ha!
Anyway, as part of The Bee's annual fireworks review, hosted by yours truly, a bunch of people and the aforementioned pair of canines went out to a fire station in Rancho Cordova recently to set off and judge this year's lot. (Check out the video).
You can see the human opinions on the cover of Wednesday's Scene section and in a special video at sacbee.com. But for those of you just dying to know what the doggies thought, their three favorites - based on the bark-o-meter - were TNT's Laugh Out Loud, Phantom's New York Harbor Fountain, and TNT's Pink Diamonds.
As for my cats, they could care less about fireworks. But the box they came in is quite popular.
