I'm slightly sympathetic to her because I have never met a dalmatian who wasn't an obnoxious, high-strung, mean little fucker, but the fictional dogs from every iteration I've seen (and probably the original novel?) are nothing like that and don't deserve to be a coat.

I mean they can't help it, they were bred to be "carriage dogs" and to spend all day running alongside carriages barking at everyone else's horses to keep traffic safely distanced With all that pent-up energy and no horses to bark at they get restless

The reason Dalmatians are associated with firefighters as a mascot is in the olden days fire engines used Dalmatians to keep horses from blocking their way on city streets

He just means they're gonna take the millions of dollars they got from the hit song/video game (depending on which version) and buy a big country manor, like you do

The word "plantation" is kind of unfortunate but the English aren't as aware of these things

It is implied that "Dalmatian Plantation" itself is the second hit

Let's not forget the string of successes that followed, "Manchester Terrier Ranch," "Airedale Apiary," and "Industrial Yorkipoo-ltry Farm."
