The Hatching Cat of Gotham

Jack was a bona fide fire dog of Old New York, but the 10-year-old Dalmatian was also called a professional tramp. That’s because in his early days, before he became a hero, Jack was not completely loyal to his official company, Ladder 9 on Elizabeth Street. He enjoyed spending time at other firehouses and hobnobbing with Police Commissioner Teddy Roosevelt at his favorite Bowery restaurant.
