As New Year's Eve approaches, the festive fireworks that many enjoy can cause significant distress for dogs and their owners.

Märta Lundsten, from a dog hotel near Umeå, advises early exposure to loud noises to help dogs adapt.

Meanwhile, Lina Åhnberg shares the struggles of her assistance dog, Rex, who has been traumatized by fireworks.

Last year, Lina had to stay at a dog-friendly hotel far from the noise to protect Rex.

She emphasizes the importance of considering animals' well-being, urging people to limit fireworks to New Year's Eve only.

For Lina, Rex is more than a pet; he is a lifeline, helping her manage her mental health.

The debate over balancing celebrations with animal welfare continues.
