I am not a dog owner. But, I am wondering, does the loud noise of firearms bother or cause damage to dogs ears. I got thinking about this the other day. We are so careful to be sure we are wearing ear protecting when we shoot, what about dogs? I don't see dogs in the sport shooting I do at the range. But I know some shooters will take their dogs way out in the back country when they go shooting. And what about hunters and their dogs?
