Based on a little-known snippet of New York City history, "Going
Home: The Lost Story of Chief the Fire Dog" is the heartwarming
story of a destitute dog's quest for home, family, and a sense of
self.
After the stock market crash of 1929, the dog's financially
devastated owner abandons him on the outskirts of New York City.
While adjusting to life as a stray, the dog discovers New York City
Fire Station Engine Company 203. Among the firemen, he finds a
family and a name-Chief.
Chief becomes the station's beloved pet; then, fire dog, and
finds in himself the heart of a hero. But one day, Chief's life is
interrupted by tragedy, leading him on a journey that ultimately
takes him to his true home and to the mother and family he never
knew. He learns that life has many lessons-but it is love that
matters in the end.
Chief's story offers healing to children who have suffered loss
or pain. As a psychotherapist and pediatric nurse for more than
thirty years, author Charlene Kate Kavanagh knows first hand that
emotional needs of children are often forgotten in times of grief
and suffering, whether personal or universal. "Going Home" reaches
out to them and anyone whose world has been lost in a moment.
