Dogs, Guns, and Hearing Protection?

I had a pitbull that would go to the range with me. It was set up with a berm that you shot from. The parking was at the base of the berm. He would sit in the open back hatch of my Durango until I called him to change targets with me.
He chased birds and made new friends with the one or two other people we met.
If your range is like the crowded city ranges. I wouldn't bring my dog because of the distraction and noise issues.
Not to beat a dead horse. But gunfire is bad for everything's hearing. Keep unprotected shooting to a minimum.

Shooting primer powered wax bullets on the Lanai, old boy was there one minute gone the next. Found him hiding. To the best of my knowledge it was a first experience to sound the resembled gun fire.
He’s 15 and either deaf or has selective hearing as all he responds to is loud claps of the hands.
