MNANCIAl ids ^ IS li always ask when they visit the station: Do you have a dog?" says the chief. "Any children's book that shows a fire station shows a Dalmatian in it." Mind you, it's been decades since Dalmatians were a predictable predictable feature at fire stations. The chief doesn't know of any fire departments in the vicinity that have a dog. Yet the association association lingers. It was back in the days of horse-drawn coaches that these black-and-white dogs first gained their status as fire dogs. According to an article published published in the Firemen's Grapevine Grapevine 1992, Dalmatians were always always perfect protection against horse thieves in Scotland and Wales. Then, in North America, Dalmatians Dalmatians were used not only as guards for the firehouse teams, but to keep the naturally gregarious gregarious horses company "during "during their long, boring waits between between fires. " Capable of running up to 20 miles a day, the dogs were commonly seen running alongside alongside the old pumpers as they raced to the scene of a fire. Clarington is reviving the tradition tradition of having a Dalmatian around. And the firefighters say they're incredibly lucky to have found one at the pound. When Lucky's original owner owner realized he couldn't give the extroverted pup the attention he deserved, he approached the local pound to see if a new home could be found for his pet. Knowing the Clarington Fire Department had been considering considering adopting a fireball dog, Animal Animal Shelter staffers immediately immediately put in a call to the chief. It was a perfect match. The firefighters say they were lucky to get a pure-bred Dalmatian Dalmatian (which breeders normally normally sell for $500-$800) at the local pound. They named him Lucky, because because they figured they all were. At this stage of Lucky's development, development, he's teaming to sit and stay and not jump up on folks or steal their slippers. The firefighters on duty share the fun of walking Lucky in the fields behind the station. They hope to introduce him to the community schools this fall, once he's fully trained. lllEI !* mm p 'J't - Guys and :i Gals Shear Magic Perm Special -% OFF for the month of January Includes wash, cut and style.
