Dogs fear the blast because it's very hot and they can't sweat
  properly. == Unless they hide under the bed. Being in a shadow
  protects you from flash burn and you won't be vaporized and then
  you can survive. Dogs are smart. People would just stand at the
  window and go "Woah - hey will you look at.... [whoosh]" == ...I
  used to doodle nuclear explosions on everything in 5th grade...
  and 6th grade... and 7th grade.... I think I wanted to vaporize
  my schoolwork.
