I posted this story in response to the prompt, “Lightning.” But it’s really a story about the most brilliant pet ever.

Thanx Dale for reminding us again of your wonderful doggie Homer!
Homer sounds like all four of our dogs when it comes to fireworks and thunder, Dale. We’ve raised several guide dogs over the years, and a key reason why many don’t graduate from guide dog school is they don’t react well to loud noises. It’s the gunshot test that turns them into house pets instead.
