High on the Bark Mountain Highway, a sudden winter skid turned into a tangle of flashing lights and worried faces. Cars had collided on the slick road, and right in the middle lay a horse trailer flipped on its side. But when Fire Chief Steve, Goose the Fire Dog, and the Bark Mountain crew peered inside, they discovered an unexpected surprise—it wasn’t horses at all… it was full of frightened little goats!

The trailer creaked in the wind, and the goats trembled and bleated nervously. But that’s when Goose stepped forward, soft paws and gentle eyes, and slowly crawled beside them. He didn’t bark. He didn’t rush. He simply lay down, wagging his tail, showing them they were safe.

The goats stopped shaking.

While Goose kept them calm, firefighters Forrest, Izzy, Dazzle and Tom used airbags and rescue blankets to carefully stabilize the trailer. With patience, teamwork, and quiet whispers, they gently slid each goat to safety, one by one.

Soon, all the goats were safe on the snowy roadside—shivering, wide-eyed, but unharmed. Chief Steve smiled, “No matter how big, small, furry, or hoofed—help always finds a way on Bark Mountain.”

And Goose? He got a thank-you nose nuzzle from every single goat.
