A nursery school teacher was driving 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 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.”
