Pet safety do s and don ts for fireworks
Use a crate or keep animals in a room where they can’t flee. Crank up music or TV to mask fireworks sounds. Provide water and food as fear causes panting and anxiety. Offer chew toys or treats as distractions. Do not take a dog to see fireworks unless it is a noise trained police or guide dog. Do not leave them outside where they can jump or dig to escape. Avoid approaching dogs that appear scared as they may attack.

Polar bears deemed at risk from Arctic warming
A U S Fish and Wildlife Service draft plan warns that without global action to curb Arctic warming polar bears could decline toward extinction. The report notes shrinking summer sea ice as key to feeding mating and birth and cites record low ice levels. Polar bears number 20 000 to 25 000 across five Arctic nations with Alaska home to the only U S population.
