The two Coach Dog, Fire Dog Series stories, Bella Fire Dog and Coach Dog Dick, are about dalmatians in history.
Dalmatians born in the UK have a proud history serving as coach dogs. However, dalmatians born in the USA have an equally proud history serving as fire dogs. The first rhyming story, Coach Dog Dick, tells how Dick connects with his coach dog forbears. Bella Fire Dog is about how Bella's dream of being a fire dog is realized.
Excerpt
Bella Fire Dog
Twitching her nose,
twitching her eyes,
asleep by the fire
Bella dog lies.
Dalmatian dog
dreams of a day
long, long ago,
far, far away.
Before fire engines
make them retire
fire horse and dog
run to the fire.
Coach Dog Dick
Dalmatian Dick,
dog on the go,
runs with horses
gee up to whoa.
He’s
born to run far,
born to run fast
like coach dogs
born in the past.
They
guarded coaches
in days of old
pulled by horses
steadfast and bold
carrying people,
luggage and gold.
