Finnegan and Fox The Ten-Foot Cop is a story told by Finnegan the horse who is a member of the New York City Police department. Finnegan and his Officer Fox patrol NYC. Throughout the story Finnegan tells how he is an active part of the community. On duty one day he helps to find a little girl that was lost.

I think this is a good story to tell to children about how animals help in the community. I like how this story was told from the horses point of view. I can relate to this story because being a child care provider means you have an important role in the community too.

I would read this story during a community helpers theme. I would like to have a police officer come and talk to the class about how their dogs help them like the horse helped Officer Fox.
