This challenge is to write a letter to a character from a book or movie as if they were a real person.

Dear Superman,
I know you can be pretty nifty in your movements, and you can puff from great distances, so is there any chance you can help us out here please?
I’m not writing for myself of course, just thousands of other pets terrified with the bangs, pops, whistles and whizzes of these blasted things called fireworks.
It’s not an everyday thing, just periodically between the end of October through to New Year, so hopefully wouldn’t take up much of your time or keep you away from other important things like Saving the World (Trump can write his own letter).
I’m hoping you can either blow them (out) to smithereens or gather them all up to whisk away to another planet.
Thank you
Maggie.

PS:
I can think of another way to dampen their spirits, but I’m too polite to suggest it.
When I was a child I had Shepard mix who was terrified of fireworks he actually jumped through a glass door to escape the sound (luckily he was okay). So I feel you. In the town I live they have started using quiet fireworks they aren’t as loud out of respect for pets and refugees escaping war
I’m convinced there is no need for them to be so loud. I had a collie 57 mix who was terrified of thunder. Sadly she was alone in a particular bad storm and wrecked my kitchen, totally destroying my fridge freezer and lucky not to electrocute herself in the process. She greeted me as if nothing had happened, but things got progressively worse until we were heading for a junkie dog as we were dosing her up every day ‘just in case’. It broke my heart, but we couldn’t let her go on like it.
That is absolutely heart-breaking. My dog was frightened by loud sounds because neighbor kids had shot him with BB guns =(
That is dreadful, and I bet they weren’t held accountable either.
They weren’t no.
😦
I hope he reads it and acts for Maggie….I know they terrify dogs and right now we are going into thunderstorm time….so far our little dog seems to be ok…..
Maggie’s not too keen on thunder either unfortunately, but at least she can hide somewhere until it passes.
