While the Dalmation’s origin is unknown, their use in firehouses began during the 1700s. Trained as a carriage dog, the Dalmatian’s agility transferred quickly to horse-drawn fire engines. Even though Dalmations weren’t the only dogs fit for carriage work, they were the ones who mostly filled the role of fire dogs. They were also easily identified by their spotted and speckled coats.

In the days of the horse-drawn fire carts, they provided a valuable service, having a natural affinity to horses. The Dalmatian’s duty was to run alongside the horses. They ran in front of or beneath the wagon axles clearing the way.

Long after the red engines replaced horse-drawn wagons, the Dalmatian remains a recognizable tradition in fire stations across the country. These energetic firehouse mascots serve to educate the public about fire safety. They also represent past fire pups in honor of their heroism.

In honor of , I would like to take a moment to talk about the dog recently found tied to a cinderblock under Ghost Bridge. Abandoning her this way is the complete opposite of responsible pet ownership.

Please remember that at one point, this dog meant something to you—and to her, you were her entire world. Whatever circumstances may have led to this decision, leaving her tied up and unable to seek food, water, shelter, or safety was not an acceptable solution.

A huge thank you to the people who found her and helped get her to safety. Your willingness to step in made all the difference for her.

It is important that we hold people accountable when animals are treated this way.

So today, I'm asking for our community's help. If anyone has information about this dog or knows how she ended up under Ghost Bridge, please reach out. Even information that may seem insignificant could be helpful.
