Description
Goose is a fire dog, and that means it's his job to help out when people are in trouble! Goose takes his job very seriously... but it can be scary, too. When Goose and the firefighters are called to a building fire, they realize it's up to them to rescue a woman from her apartment. The firefighters come up with a plan, but they need extra help from Goose. Can this brave dog overcome his fear to help fight the fire and save the day?
Goose the Fire Dog and the Big Fire is the first book in a series about a fire dog and the firefighters at his station. This inspiring story helps children build confidence when stepping out of their comfort zone, and reminds us that we can overcome anxiety and accomplish many things when we believe in ourselves and have the support of our peers.
