How cute Lovely... I want that dog...lol

awww

Dalmatians can be very serious dogs in my experience. And strong. There's a reason that firemen like them. I'll have to look that up.

Some people really got themselves in over their heads after that 101 Dalmatians movie by Disney. "Oh, we'll get a puppy for each kid", right? In a year that was one hundred and twenty pounds of sinew and muscle, wanting to go outside.

[e:] Here's a passage from Wikipedia, 'for what it's worth':

Today the Dalmatian serves as a firehouse mascot but, back in the days of horse-drawn fire carts, they provided a valuable service. Dalmatians and horses are very compatible, so the dogs were easily trained to run in front of the carriages to help clear a path and quickly guide the horses and firefighters to the fires. The dogs were sometimes also used as rescue dogs to locate victims in burning structures. Dalmatians are often considered to make good watchdogs and it is believed that Dalmatians may have been useful to fire brigades as guard dogs to protect a firehouse and its equipment. Fire engines used to be drawn by fast and powerful horses, a tempting target for thieves. So, Dalmatians were kept in the firehouse as deterrence to theft. The horses have long since gone, but the Dalmatians, by tradition, have stayed.
