The firecrackers in particular are a huge nuisance. For the temple dogs they will normally retreat to the back area far away from all of that. I feel bad for the dogs that live in the more urban areas and cannot escape it. During the various festivals where firecrackers are involved in an all-day sort of basis, there is a noticeable increase in road deaths because the dogs are trying to escape the noise that they don't understand. It's tragic.
