10. Which breed of dog is associated with fire engines and firehouses?
Your answer: Beagle
The correct answer was Dalmatian
The dalmatian was bred to be a coaching dog and they can keep pace with a horse for many miles. In the early days of fire fighting when engines were horsedrawn, the dogs were used to alert people that a fire engine was leaving the station by barking. They would also deter other dogs from interfering with the horses on the way to the fire and spooking them. Also, they were of some comfort to the horses at the scene of the fire as horses do not like fire. If that was not enough, they protected the fire fighters' stuff as they were off fighting the fire. Today many fire stations still keep a dalmatian as a mascot.
