Good that he didn't mind the fireworks. I had never heard of a Malinois, so
looked it up on Google. Very fine looking dogs. Have you had him long? Our
ratty was a rescue and it took awhile before some of her bad habits were
overcome. She doesn't care much at all for other dogs but she's not
aggressive with them.
