Pups to the Rescue! book cover

A fire hose on his back
A fireman’s helmet on his head
Marshall’s patrol vest is RED

With a nose meant to follow
He sniffs a scent that’s new
Chase’s patrol vest is BLUE

She flies in a helicopter
She jets off in a blink
Skye’s patrol vest is PINK

He loves a digger and a shovel
And a bath to feel mellow
Rubble’s patrol vest is YELLOW

He recycles and reuses
To keep the Earth clean
Rocky’s patrol vest is GREEN

With tanks for underwater
And a hovercraft in storage
Zuma’s patrol vest is ORANGE
