Here comes the thunder

Every other dog I've ever had or been around has been scared of thunder. My other two Labs used to hide under the dining room table until it was done. Dunkin'? Nope, he barks to go out in it. I'm sure it has something to do with his love of the rain, but really, I'd rather not be standing in the back yard with lightning flashing all around me.

Maybe it has something to do with us working with him not to be scared of loud noises. My son has a 1968 Mustang that is very loud and would take Dunkin' for rides as a pup. He loves that car.

Does your dog run for cover or run for the door when storms hit?

As I've said before, Greta is scared to death of thunder. But Cassie LOVES a good storm. She and Dunkin' are alike in that way. She loves to just lie in the middle of the yard in the pouring rain and a storm. Sometimes we'll find her cuddled up in the crate with Greta, but I think that has a lot to do with keeping Greta company while she's scared.
