why do dogs go crazy during thunder storm??

[Semidevil]

so I've noticed that everytime the thunder booms, my dog would start breathing heavily, sticking it's tounge out, like it's having a hard time breathing............


why is that??

is that normal for all dogs??

 

[conjur]

stress?

 

[her209]

He's having sex in his mind.

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

My dog just runs around the house with his ears all perked up looking generally concerned and confused. I think he's just a big pussy.

 

[BlamoHammer]

I dont know, perhaps it's because they lack the mental power to know that the world is not coming to a loud, flashing end?

 

[Schadenfroh]

my dad left his dog in a shed during Hurricane Camiel(2 miles from the beech on MS gulf coast), it never was the same when it heard thunder after that.

 

[Staples]

Probably the constant low pitch crackle of the thunder that you can't hear. I have always though that must be the reason they all start crying when they hear a siren.

because THE BIGGEST DOG IN THE UNIVERSE is growling impossibly loud and flashing the sun on and off.

it's like if you looked outside and there was a tremendous voice shouting down from the heavens "i'm going to shoot you dead, muthafvcka!" and turning gravity on and off. you'd go crazy, too.

I have to tie mine up, or else she'll run away when theres a storm. Last time she was gone for a month.

That's what thunderstorms are like to me! My cat always wonders why I run around, diving behind cover and falling over.

my dog used to not care about thunderstorms, he'd just sit there, but something switched and he gets afraid when it thunders.

When my dog was an older puppy, I took her on a hike to a fairly high area up in the mountains. Right when we got to our destination and were ready to turn around, a severe electrical storm broke open right on top of us. As terrified as I was, I really felt sorry for my dog. Now when a storm rolls in, she is extra clingy.

edit: spelling

 

[PunDogg]

i think they might stick out there tongue so they can taste the air and what not

Dogg

 

[PingSpike]

Probably because they don't know which to direction to bark, since it appears to coming from all around them.

My cat goes crazy too, meows a whole lot, runs around the house wide eyed and bushy tailed hiding behind different pieces of furniture.

My dog has no issues with that. He just sleeps through it.

 

[dighn]

the em pulses mess with their brains

 

[0roo0roo]

This one seems to about sum it up for me.

Because dogs are dumb!

 

[IHYLN]

my ex's dog used to piss himself during a thunderstorm. needless to say it was quite annoying while we're having sex during a thunderstorm and then one of us says "oh sh1t, the dog!"

LOL. I think it's true. My dog, albeit a small one, acts the same way. They just don't understand what's going on.

 

[ohtwell]

Because thunderstorms are loud and kind of scary and dogs are wussies?
