Details: In the 1800s, firefighters used horses to pull fire trucks. But horses spook easily and run away from fire--that's why they needed fire dogs. Dalmatians guided the horses and kept them calm. It took a dog and horse working together to fight a fire--and it takes Dog Diaries: Sparky and Horse Diaries: Cinders to tell this story!

October 8, 1871. Sparky is so good at her job, she knows when the alarm is going to ring before it even rings! But today is no ordinary day. There's no choice but to put Cinders--a rescued Percheron training to be a fire horse--to work at her very first fire: a burn destined to become one of the greatest disasters of the 19th century! With realistic back and white illustrations and an appendix including information about the Great Chicago Fire, dalmations, the legend of Mrs. O'Leary's cow and more, this is the kind of historical fiction reluctant readers beg for. It's a perfect choice for supporting Common Core State Standards.
