So over the Fourth of July weekend, his owners decided to distract and relax him — by setting Joey up with a pair of noise-canceling headphones, an iPad and some soothing dog videos to watch in bed as the loud festivities raged outside. Owner Emily Kuang captured a short video of the blissfully entertained dog and posted it to Twitter, and it became [quite a hit](http://www.today.com/pets/dog-watches-dog-videos-calm-down-t100591) with canine-loving audiences. “He enjoys seeing animals on the TV and will watch and bark at Animal Planet, so he’s usually not as calm as he is in the video!’ Kuang [told Metro UK](http://metro.co.uk/2016/07/07/when-this-dog-gets-scared-his-owner-lets-him-watch-videos-with-the-headphones-on-5991315/?ito=twitter). > [](https://twitter.com/spaghemily/status/750180498832404480) > [](https://twitter.com/AlexRogaski/status/750897362172649472) > [](https://twitter.com/breakfastqueeen/status/750548336432783362) Looks like Joey’s one lucky dog with a great home. > [](https://twitter.com/spaghemily/status/712788888540938241) > [](https://twitter.com/spaghemily/status/744321826738692096) Watch This Dog Chill Out With Some Dog Videos ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4396418/dog-fireworks/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4396418/dog-fireworks/"},"headline":"This Dog Was Scared of Fireworks So His Owners Set Him Up With Some Chill Dog Videos","datePublished":"2016-07-07T16:02:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:10.057Z","description":"Dogs: they're just like us","url":"https://time.com/4396418/dog-fireworks/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4396418/dog-fireworks/","name":"This Dog Was Scared of Fireworks So His Owners Set Him Up With Some Chill Dog Videos"}}]}] ```
