Charlie the stray has a new home; 4th of July fireworks, parades, restaurant deals; sneak inside a private country club; bid on a Studebaker. (San Diego Patch)
- The day after the Fourth of July is one of the busiest times of the year at animal shelters.Patriotic pups decked out in red, white and blue kerchiefs and other July 4 gear make for cute social media pictures, but taking dogs to California Independence Day celebrations is asking for trouble, according to animal advocacy groups. Dogs have a heightened sense of hearing, and the loud booms from 4th of July fireworks can be "utterly terrifying" for them, according to the American Humane Society. Even dogs that are on a leash or chain can break loose and jump a high fence when frightened. (San Diego Patch)
