It's Guy Fawkes Night (or Bonfire Night) today in the UK, and many people are having bonfires and fireworks to celebrate it. It's not good new for pets and their owners, though; many pets and farm animals are terrified of the noise and smell of fireworks and it is heartbreaking for their owners to see their animals suffer all night.
So, Classic FM, an English radio network, has decided to play calming music for pets up and down the country all night. I don't know how effective it is but many people have been tweeting and emailing and sending photos in to tell how their pets are settling for the night while tuning into Classic FM.
There you have it, a bit of British culture for you.
