Today, I found out that the 2 loud "firework booms" I heard were actually a guy shooting his dog on the unfinished road behind my house. FML

Today, while trying to sleep, I kept hearing this groan/scream for help for about an hour. I decided to call 911 to send someone to investigate. Police came, I received a $100 parking fine and another citation for improper use of 911. The noise? Just a dog howling. FML

Today, my dog was barking at a squirrel in the yard. I opened the door to let him chase the squirrel. I went to look at the dead squirrel and found out it was the neighbor's chihuahua. FML

Alert!
Today, I was woken up by my neighbour's dog losing its mind, and I remembered reading a story about someone ignoring a dog and later finding out that their car had been stolen. Paranoid, I went outside to check on mine. Nope. Just the damn dog barking at one thirty in the morning. FML

Today, I finally got the hearing aids that I've needed for years. My dog quickly learned that if he quietly sneaks up behind me and barks, it'll scare the hell out of me. It's now his favorite game. FML

Today, I was screaming at my neighbor to shut his dog up. After 30 minutes of bellowing, he yelled back that it was my dog that was barking. He was right. FML

Today, I was finally going to fall asleep at a decent hour. Having insomnia, I generally get about 2 hours of sleep. Right as I'm about to fall asleep, 5 firetrucks decide to drive right in front of my house with the sirens/lights on. FML

Make it stop
Today, I had finally gotten my dogs to quiet down and my baby to fall asleep. Not thirty seconds later, my neighbor's car alarm went off. They aren't home for the weekend, and the damn alarm has now been blaring for three hours. FML

Alarm
Today, my dog farted so loud in his sleep that he scared himself and woke up barking. This afternoon I achieved the same feat. FML

So obviously the easiest thing to do is to train the firemen to not sound their alarm! Definitely don't put your dog through any training!

#34... you realize that just because dogs ears are more sensitive doesn't mean everything sounds louder? It just means they can hear things that we can't. I have better eyes than the average person so I can see street signs from a further distance than most people. It doesn't mean that everything looks closer though. OP's dog is not howling cuz the sirens hurt his ears to drown out the noise... that doesn't even make any ******* sense!

I have 2 dogs over 100 pounds and they both bark at everything. even if they just think they hear something they bark so I feel ya.

Then how does our family dog hear when we whistle or call her name from far away? Sometimes when she is free in a forest and goes way far, a certain whistle makes her come back to us. I dont think the whistle carries that far to humans ears.

Yeah they can hear things that people can't but it's not like everything sounds louder. Loud sounds sound the same to a dog as they do to people. However dogs hear things like a whistle far off in the distance much more acutely than people do. This is because they have better ears, not because the volume in their world is turned up louder than it is in ours.
