Why is my dog afraid of thunder storms?

Q: Every time we have a storm he runs under the bed and starts shaking. How do I help him over come this.He is a 2 year old Pekingese

A: Dogs are like future tellers. They can tell when a storm is coming (by loud ringing noises). To tell you that a storm is coming they may bark or act nervous. During a storm the loud noises hurt their ears.
