My German Shepherd started making a horrible honking sound at 3am and I panicked 😰

Pluto woke me up at 3am making the scariest sound I've ever heard. I genuinely thought something was seriously wrong with him.

Turns out it was just reverse sneezing. Completely harmless but absolutely terrifying when you don't know what it is πŸ˜…

I wrote everything I learned about it here in case anyone else goes through this: jupiterandplutochaos.vercel.app/articles/german-shepherd-reverse-sneezing.html

Does anyone else's GSD do this? Pluto does it almost every morning now πŸ˜‚πŸΎ
