This series of pet bios and accompanying portraits tells the stories of the animals that serve on duty at New York's firehouses.
In Paws of Firefighters, Emmy Park has
combined her love for dogs and cats and her passion for documenting the
relationship between pets and their families in this unique journey with
the firefighters who serve New Yorkers and the companions that serve
them unconditionally.
Readers will meet beloved canines, felines, and even a pig of New York's
firehouses-in all five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island) and Long Island.
Readers will be able to experience the
kinship between the firefighters and their precious furry members.
Through the photographs and the stories in this book, one can feel the camaraderie and therapy provided by these animals to the
firefighters at their firehouse, which is truly their home away from
home. The firefighters never know what kind of emergency runs will come
to them during their shifts, but the one thing that they can count on is
that their loyal member with paws will always be there when they return
from their run.
The firehouse animals in this book all have different
stories about how they came to be there-some were rescued and had a
rough start, some were dropped off because their owners could no longer
care for them, and some were donated to help firefighters cope with the
stress of the job. No matter the way in which they arrived, they all are special companions that provide support to the brave firefighters and
offer them comfort after a tough run.

They're the real paw patrol. A new photo book, "Paws of Firefighters: The Dogs & Other Animals New York Firehouses" (Schiffer Publishing, out Jan. 28), focuses on the adorable, loyal four-legged creatures that give companionship and support to firefighters in the city and beyond."No matter the mischievous behavior the firehouse animals may get into, it is clear that there is a dedicated bond between them and the members," photographer Emmy Park, 44, writes in the book's introduction. "Both are beings of selfless service, dedicated to helping others in their time of need."
