'Screaming' dog had to be cut free from kennel

A dog owner says Saturday night's fireworks left her dog "screaming" in fear and wants an end to what she calls the misery of pets at Guy Fawkes.


Gwen Zentveld's pet samoyed Zari had to be cut out of her kennel at about 11pm on Saturday night after becoming trapped trying to squeeze through the wire netting in her cage to escape the noise.

"We heard her screaming. It wasn't barking or yelping . . . it was a high pitched scream. My husband had to go and get wire cutters to get her out. She had ripped at the wire with her teeth.
