It is a well-known fact that dalmatians go along well with horses. Their affinity to horses has made this breed a popular choice as a natural guardian and follower for horse-drawn carriages.
So when a dalmatian spots a horse that looks exactly like it, the lucky dog immediately becomes infatuated with the horse! When it sees a horse that has black and white spots just like him, the dalmatian cannot resist from following the horse galloping around.
But, how did this breed get along really well with horses? It began in the 17th century when dalmatians started to enjoy their status as society’s choice of pet.
A lot of them were trained to run alongside horse-drawn carriages so as to keep thieves away from stealing the carriages, and the horses. Look at how infatuated the dog is with the ‘dalmatian’ horse!
