FIRE STATION
JAKE & THE SECOND CHANCE CREW
Whistleslick Press & Fort Worth Fire Station 8 are proud to announce
Fire Station Jake and the Second Chance Crew
is in production!
BUT WAIT!
Jake says there's more!
Earlier this year, Fort Worth was touched by the heartbreaking story of a pit bull named Jake, who was found tied to the flagpole outside Fort Worth Fire Station 8.
Beside him was a three-page handwritten letter with one heartbreaking plea: “Please Save My Baby.”
What happened next turned Jake’s story into a national message of hope. The incredible crew at Fire Station 8 opened their doors and their hearts to Jake, giving him the second chance he so desperately needed.
Jake’s story found its way to us one morning and immediately brought tears to our eyes. At Whistleslick Press, we believe in telling stories that touch hearts, inspire compassion, and leave a lasting positive message for readers of all ages—stories that families can share together and treasure on their bookshelves for years to come.
So, with full hearts, we are beyond excited to announce that Whistleslick Press and the incredible Fort Worth Fire Station 8 are teaming up to bring Jake’s story to life in a new children’s book!
A story of compassion, courage, second chances, and the extraordinary people who choose to help when an animal needs them most.
We can’t wait to share Jake’s journey and the incredible crew who changed his life with you. Stay tuned as this heartwarming story comes to life! ✨

A portion of the proceeds from this book will go toward helping those in need.
Fire Station Jake is an educational children’s book that uses stories to teach important safety lessons. Within these pages, however, is a true story—the story of a little boy named George.
Jake made a difference in George’s life in ways no one could have imagined. As Fire Station Jake comes to life, you can help continue that difference by donating to George’s fundraiser.
You can also donate to The Street Dog Project, which helps save dogs from the streets of Texas, or BADRAP, which gives Pit Bulls a second chance at life.
Thank you for helping make a difference, just as Jake did.
