Definition
A large dog breed with a white coat covered in black (or sometimes brown) spots, originally used as a carriage dog.
Etymology
Named after Dalmatia, a historical region on the coast of Croatia where these dogs may have originated. The breed became famous in firehouse tradition and modern media.
Kelly Says
Dalmatians became associated with firefighters because they used to run alongside horse-drawn fire trucks—their spotted coats made them highly visible at night, and they naturally bonded with horses!
