Hi, my name is Super Duper Fire dog, real name is Sparky. Some people also call me Sparky the Fire Dog. I'm on a big mission. What kind of mission? Well the mission is I have to go to this school to talk to Ms. Walker's class and also to talk about Firefighters. AWESOME! I've been a fire dog since I was born. I'll tell you the story on the way there. Well I was born on a hot summer day. They were selling puppies for free. Then these two firefighters came up to the box, picked one, which was me, they said "this dog look like a firefighter dog." So they called me Sparky the Fire Dog. The day they picked me up there was a fire so they had to rush to the meeting spot. They got dressed rushed to the truck, drove to the house. The man picked me up and put me in a hiding spot so no one could find me. But I did not stay put. I ran after the man. He did not know that I was following him. When they got the hose out, the firefighters turned it on but all the water was gone, I found a hose near the house that was on fire. I made a very loud bark. People turned around. Some men came over to get the hose from me. They used the hose to put out the fire. It was the greatest day of my life. Well that's the end of my story.
