There's even a theory that dogs experience painful shocks from static buildup before a storm.
But whatever the cause, it's heartbreaking to watch our fur-babies cower in fear and anxiety while a storm is raging. And this tiny tot certainly agrees!
In a heartwarming video shared on Twitter, a dog scared of a thunderstorm got the best medicine from his tiny human.
When a storm swept through, it sent this poor dog to the laundry room, cowering in fear. And the toddler of the house knew just what to do!
