A tragic incident occurred in California involving a police dog. The dog's death is attributed to being startled by fireworks. The dog was at home with its handler when it was let outside briefly.

At that moment, a firework exploded, causing the dog to become frightened and escape. The handler chased after the dog but was unable to catch it due to the ongoing noise from fireworks. Unfortunately, the dog was found injured in the road and later died after being taken to a hospital.
