#dalmatians

The Baseball Rookie – Am I Seeing Double Or What? Rookie spotted his good buddy from across the street, Rocky the Dalmatian, sitting a few rows over and went over to bark hello....

Not bird related, but did you know that Dalmatians are actually black dogs with white spots? They also are commonly featured in books and media as firehouse dogs. This is because melanin is needed in your eyes and ears for them to function properly, meaning if they don’t have black spots over their ears or eyes they’re most likely deaf or blind based on what the white covers, so when the alarms go off in the stations, they won’t have the hearing to be able to freak out about it! Pretty neat :)
