Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog in the Courier Democrat


Thanks to Courier Democrat reporter Justin Hook for the amazing story that he wrote about Sparkles and her quest for helping teach fire safety.

Since May 2003, Sparkles has reached millions of children and their caregivers with the fire safety message on Sprout, Sprout on Demand after Fireman Sam and the Sprout website. Rescued from a home with 62 other dogs, Sparkles had an unfortunate life. Now, Sparkles is a very happy dog, helping Firefighter Dayna teach fire safety all across the United States.

The upcoming book, Sparkles Goes to Boston, was mentioned in the article. A photo of Sparkles taken by Linda Hubley during Sparkles visit to Southborough last summer appeared in the article.

The article appeared in the July 5th, 2009 issue. Please check back soon for a link to the article.
