Dear Fido, Chester, Brecon and Buttons. Last weekend, I was having a snooze on mum and dad's settee and, yes, you guessed it, more fireworks were let off.

I was scared stiff and started to shake. Mum gave me a cuddle to try to reassure me.

It is three weeks since Bonfire Night and I am still scared every time I hear a noise.

Please, Mr Lepper, put forward our concerns because this is no fun for us dogs and I can't stay on tranquilisers indefinitely.

-Sam, Coldean
