I was about eight when this happened, so it would have been around 2000 or 2001 in southeast Kansas. My dad and I lived in a doublewide trailer in the country, so our house was surrounded by woods. I had a German shepard-husky mix that was chained up outside behind our house. My dad decided to shoot off some fireworks, and knowing they scared my dog, I went and sat in her dog house with her. After about five minutes, I heard my dad go inside.
