A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids
home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat
of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing
the dog's duties. They use him to keep crowds back," said one youngster.
"No, said another, "he's just for good luck." A third child brought the
argument to a close.
"They use the dogs", she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrant."
