A “cutting” here from “Dalmatian History” regarding their use in America.
“In the USA, when fire-fighting was served by horse
drawn fire engines, Dalmatians were very popular for
much the same reasons as they were used as
carriage dogs in the 18th century. They would run
alongside the fire engine, guard and calm the horses,
who could become anxious at the scene of a fire.”

Before we left Ivy House, Dinan had an “unfortunate incident” when he totally
destroyed a “hacking jacket” belonging to a visitor. There is an audio story about
the incident and this is his chair from that time....also destroyed!
