For the classroom
A dog named Dolly was left at a Staten Island firehouse, Ladder 85. She was thin, and she had recently had puppies. The firefighters took her in, and she bonded with the crew. The ASPCA, a group that helps animals, sent a mobile clinic to spay her so she would not have another litter right away. Dolly now lives as the firehouse dog. The story is about that one dog finding a home with the people who work there.
