Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?

I have a dog who would agree. If he could speak English (he's from Mexico).

My girl only speaks limited English. She is currently in a panic attack and we're about 8 miles away from the fireworks. She agrees.

Honest question: have you considered getting him desensitized to the sound? It’s totally doable; hunters teach their dogs to not be afraid of the bang from their guns after all.

Highly unlikely. He was heavily abused and clearly has trauma, as any kind of sudden noise makes him jump.
