      <image:title>ARTICLES - Fireworks and Frightened Pets: How to Help Your Dog Stay Calm This Fourth of July</image:title>
      <image:caption>Linda S. of Norfolk dreaded any day that would likely include fireworks. Her dog, Hazel, would tremble in fear, and nothing she tried seemed to help. She decided to create a quieter space by turning her walk-in closet into a temporary retreat, hanging a comforter over the door and playing soft music nearby. Before the fireworks started, she settled Hazel into the closet with a comfortable bed, a few favorite toys, and a couple of treats. It worked, and now that has become the routine Linda follows every July 4th, New Year’s Eve, and any other day that brings fireworks.</image:caption>
