From Dee, MA
While I never thought I would own a Dalmatian, a completely deaf one at that, he is the sweetest and most gentle dog I have ever seen. He is now almost 9 years old and has been a part of our household for 8 years. His large yard is completely fenced in, he sleeps in the house which is why his home is his domain. Would I trade him for any other breed, never... I know he was sent here for a reason and maybe someday we will find out why. for now we just enjoy his laid back disposition
