The Dalmatian Musician Found His Best Spot and Raised the Violin
A huge white ruffled collar circles the Dalmatian's neck like a plate of lace, and above it his white face, dotted with black spots, has big brown eyes and floppy spotted ears. He wears a blue velvet coat embroidered with gold, with deep lace cuffs, and he holds a violin against his body with one spotted paw. The room is a warm, shadowy brown with a candle flame glowing at the left edge, and the shine on the violin matches the shine of gold embroidery on his sleeve.
Dalmatians are lively, athletic dogs, and many have a surprising love of rhythm and movement. They are happy to join a jog, a hike or a good game of fetch, and they need lots of daily activity to stay calm indoors. They are sensitive and can be sound-sensitive, so loud music or sudden noises may bother some, and a quiet room helps. Their short coat sheds year-round, with tiny white hairs that stick to dark clothes, so a rubber brush helps. As puppies, Dalmatians are born white and their spots appear within the first weeks. Ask your vet about diet, hearing and care for this energetic and sensitive breed.
The concert will start as soon as the dog finds his best spot. The music will be lively, and it will have a wag in it.
