Dot the Stuffed Dalmatian Dog can wear many hats. Our plush dalmation is best known as the mascot of fire departments because dalmations used to escort horse drawn fire carts. In fact, if you have horses then Dot the Stuffed Dalmation is the dog for you because dalmations get along very well with horses. If you need a stuffed horse to go along with Dot, we have those too! Besides helping put out fires, dalmations have also been used as circus dogs, hunting dogs, guard dogs, even dogs of war. Hopefully you won't need Dot the Stuffed Dalmation to help you wage any wars, but if you do, Dot is very capable. Dot the Stuffed Dalmatian Dog is white with black spots (as though you'd expect anything else) and has little brown eyes. A member of the Aurora family, Dot the Stuffed Dalmatian Dog is made from high quality child safe materials and meets or exceeds all U.S. safety standards. Recommended for ages 3 and up, Dot the Stuffed Dalmatian Dog is surface washable.
