Plum Pudding Dog Is
A Dalmatian
Of all the ridiculous names
anyone ever coined to de
scribe a certain breed of dog,
the record must certainly go
to that master of misonmers
who named one the "Plum
Pudding" dog. It's difficult to
think of a dog having any
similarities with a plum pud
ding, either in color, shape,
action or appearance.
Perhaps this inconsistency
can ba softened somewhat by
remembering that the very
rich, edible plum pudding ac
tually never did contain any
plums, unless by another
grammatical liberty we might
mean a raisin or a hunk of
citron. With even less reason
this so-called "plum pudding"
dog was saddled with anoth
er meaningless name, "spotted
dick," which is just as ri
diculous when, along with
other names, it is applied to
what Is technically a Dalma
tian. These beautiful animals,
almost as large as greyhounds,
are believed to have orginat-
ed In Dalmatia, a part of
Austria, near the city Venice,
Every European Country
Although tile dog's heritage
is often disputed writings as
well as paintings of antiquity
of many European, Asiatic
and African countries, seem
to lay claim to some part of
the dog's early origin. Like a
roving ,gypsy, the Dalmatian
was at one time found in just
1 about every European coun
try. .
Tha dog's beauty, a snow
white coat on which a gener
ous sprinkling of black dots
appear, make the plum pud
ding dog one of the most at
tractive of canines. Along
with the dog's attractiveness,
is its kindly and gentle dis
position, intelligence and in
herent devotion to its master;
so it was only natural that it
should have found a receptive
home in the new world. At
one time, in America, it was
very fashionable to own a
Dalmatian.
Back at the turn of the cen
tury, the horse-drawn fire dn-
gine clanged through the city
streets, and those old engines
usually carried more than fire
fighting equipment and fire
men along with them went
the "Fire House Dog," as the
plum pudding dog was called.
There was a deep affinity be
tween the horse and this dog,
so much in fact, the dog was
renamed again and called the
"coach-dog" or "carriage dog."
Some people claimed the
fire horse was more tractable
when the fire house dog was
in attendance. About that
time, too, every fashionable
carriage also carried a "coach
dog."
Many Remember
There are many people who
still remember well the beau
tiful dog with the black polka
dots on lis white coat, sitting
proudly on the seat of the old
horse-drawn carriage. Too,
they remember how very
round the black spots were,
and that they never seemed
to intermingle, no black spot
touched any other black spot.
Now, of course, the carri
ages are gone, so too are the
horse-drawn fire engines of
yesteryear. The "plum pud
ding" dog Is less popular to
day and, in time, he too may
disappear from the every
changing scene.
