MY THOUGHTS

What a fun story to read with my 8 and 10 year old sons. We are huge dog people and have a 3 year old mixed breed rescue (Amelia Earhart) and a 1 year old German Shepherd (Theodore Roosevelt). Our rescue dog was tied up and left behind a local water treatment plant. Nick the Firedog was an abused abandoned pitbull who was left tied up at a fire hydrant. Nick is found by a firefighter and adopts him. Nick goes on to help raise awareness of other dogs who may have been in similar situations. Nick also is tasked with teaching children about fire safety. This is a heartwarming story and I love the awareness it brought. I love that this is a real life story.

I received a copy of this book through the author, publisher and Children's book Review - all thoughts are my own.
