Dozer the Fire Cat: Robyn Prokop

In February 2019, a tiny spark in a Pigeon Valley paddock became the largest fire in New Zealand since 1955.

Up to 150 volunteer firefighters fought the blaze. Around 3,500 people were evacuated, including the whole town of Wakefield. Robyn Prokop has based her story on a real cat that survived the fires. While his family is busy packing up to evacuate, Dozer is oblivious, busy doing what Dozer does… stalking, pouncing, washing… and sleeping.

But when he wakes up, his family has gone and the world is a frightening place!
