The little Dalmatian jumped out of Firefighter Janet's arms and licked the children's faces. His tail wagged faster than ever before. The children hugged the puppy and felt a little bit better.
 
"Do you know who this puppy belongs to?" Firefighter Janet asked the children. The children didn't know, but they recognized him from the schoolyard, and they were glad to see him again. "Well, he's a real hero," said Firefighter Janet. "He ran all 
the way to the fire station to let us know there was a fire at your house.

"I guess that makes him a fire dog," said Firefighter Janet. "Maybe we should call him Sparky. Yeah, that's it - Sparky the Fire Dog. Sparky can live with us at the fire station," she said, "but you kids can visit him any time you want."
 
Sparky was very proud of his new name and loved his new home at the fire station.
