A Fire Hydrant's Revenge (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781665760928)

A fire hydrant has a solitary existence; he is a permanent fixture in cement next to the street. He can withstand all kinds of weather, and people often kick him, splash him, or sit on him. He has seen many different events-with happiness and joy or pain and tears.

One day is particularly horrible. First, a car accident happens right in front of him. Traffic slows, and there are sirens, yelling, and honking all around him. Even after that gets cleared away, things do not get better. A dog escapes from its owner and runs around the neighborhood, going from tree to tree and bush to bush, marking everything he can. Then the dog spots the fire hydrant and makes a mad dash. What happens next is the birth of a neighborhood legend.

In this children's story, a fire hydrant takes revenge when a rampaging dog decides to mark his territory in the wrong spot.
