With our 3 “rescue shelter” dogs we have 3 distinctive reactions to fireworks. One loves them and stayed outside until late in the evening. Another dog hid under the bed all evening while the 3rd one simply slept through the whole thing.

Our Lela hates fireworks, and will shiver and roam mindlessly.
But as she ages, it affects her less and less.

I got lucky with my current Shiba. He could careless about fireworks, guns or any of that.
The last Shiba it was bad. He jumped out of the truck once in Mexico from fireworks and ran off. Covered the inside of my 100-series once in poop from the fireworks too.

Our new dog, Charley, thinks fireworks need to be killed. He's like Lela, but instead of fear he exhibits aggression toward things he hates. He's already torn a wheel off the mower and flipped over the vacuum.
Still, he's a friendly dog in every other way.

I was wrong. Charley doesn't hate fireworks. He loves them. We spent several hours last night in the front yard watching fireworks, with Charley running around like a madman, barking and jumping every time a good one goes off. Had to drag the little turd inside the house for bed, finally.

Yeah, my Springer Spaniels would run to the gun case and whine because they thought everyone else was hunting and they didn't get to go.

Our old hunting lab Jessie didn't care about fireworks or thunder. I assumed gun-broke bird dogs would be universally indifferent to fireworks, but our German Wirehair Pointer Dixie is a wreck on 4th of July or New Years Eve. Doesn't do well with thunder either but will run toward the sound of a shotgun blast because that signals fun!
We've taken to camping in isolated spots over the forth to spare Dixie and Paris (rescue) the trauma of mortar fire that invariably comes from our neighborhood.
