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 Dalmation dog. The children fell to 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."
