Dalmatians Join Revolution

After many passionate requests, (and veiled threats) from Dalmatian Fundamentalists, I was finally pressured to represent Dalmatians on the site.

"...The duties the Dalmatian has performed are as varied as his reputed ancestors. He has been a dog of war, a sentinel on the borders of Dalmatia and Coratia. He has been employed as a draft dog and as a shepherd. He is excellent on rats and vermin.
