(4th of July, too) when I'm not as sad that our 14-year-old dog doesn't hear very well anymore.
Though the dogs I've had seem to get used to the frequent Halloween visitors at the door, maybe the fact that they are kids makes them more acceptable.

... but for him the main problem is people with masks. He needs to see people's faces to figure out if they're friendly or not. He also has issues in the winter with scarves hiding faces.
