Tales From Bark Mountain
The Slap Shot
In this heartwarming episode of Tales from Bark Mountain, a joyful evening of pond hockey turns into a moment of fear when Dani, a brave young player, takes a hard slapshot right to her leg. The sting of the puck hurts—but what scares her most is not knowing what comes next. That’s when the red lights appear on the snowy hillside, and help arrives with calm voices, warm smiles, and one wagging tail.
Fire Chief Steve, Dazzle, Tom, and Goose the Fire Dog gently kneel beside her. They tell her exactly what they’re doing—step by step—so nothing feels scary. They wrap her leg carefully, keeping her warm under a cozy blanket. Goose rests his head on her arm, and his calm eyes remind Dani that she’s safe, and she’s not alone.
The firefighters show her how being brave isn’t about not being scared—it’s about trusting the people who are there to help you. They teach her that asking questions, breathing slowly, and holding Goose’s soft stuffy can help make the worry go away.
By the end of the episode, Dani isn’t just okay—she’s proud of herself. She leaves believing something beautiful:
That sometimes courage is being brave enough to just let others take care of you.
