Potato is a golden retriever living in Denver who happens to be terrified of fireworks - like many dogs are. Potato's mom has tried everything to ease her anxiety during firework season, but unfortunately nothing seems to help. Sedatives, Bluetooth headbands, and expensive sound-proof curtains haven't provided much relief and "firework season" seems to grow longer every year. After years of frustration and learning more about the dangers of aerial fireworks, Potato's mom finally realized there's only one thing that can truly solve this problem: a cultural shift away from fireworks and toward better alternatives.

Protect Potato isn't just about Potato, though. The harm that aerial fireworks cause is incalculable and we implore you to read more about them in the other pages on this website.
