Yeah. It's suffering. There have been many studies which show that pets undergo extreme stress when humans decide to set off fireworks.
I'm sorry that you think it's a "little yapping dickhead", but it's still a living being with feelings. I don't think it deserves trauma just because it barks a little too much.
Idk being scared doesn't exactly equate to suffering. Once the fireworks stop the dog is fine. It's just scary because it doesn't know what's going on. I have been in that position many times lol I wouldn't say I was suffering. People who make such a big deal about it are usually the same people who are overly attracted to their dogs. They think of their dogs as a human child.
Being scared is suffering.
