Waiting for the thunderstorm to subside.

Dogs with mild noise phobia may look anxious during thunderstorms, tremble, hide under the bed or in the bathtub, and be afraid to go out of doors for hours after the storm has passed. If your dog suffers mildly, the best you can do is train him to go to a certain place in the house where he feels comfortable; some dogs like to go into an open crate, some like the bathtub or shower. If your dog heads to a certain spot and seems calmer, reward him. Severely afflicted pets may soil in the house, destroy furniture, attempt to break through walls or crash through windows, often hurting themselves in frantic efforts to flee the source of their fear.

Carlos didn't attempt to break through walls like The Incredible Hulk.

Michelle, my sister, caught Carlos hiding in a small space beneath the kitchen cupboard during a thunderstorm. He sought refuge among packets of instant noodles, biscuits and dried food.

Just in case of war, he can survive on instant noodles, biscuits and whatnot. Clever dog. He didn't need to go NTUC to stock up.

Haha! In case of war, he's the first thing I'll cook!

True. But Carlos used to be a regular in the armed forces. Chances are, he will get mobilized as well.
