New collection: photos of non-traditional fire dogs

We suffer through a lot of pointless fire alarms at my workplace. It's a combination of our perpetual state of construction and, I think, people nipping into the stairwells for a smoke. The fire station is a block north of us, so the firefighters are usually in and out within fifteen minutes.

One time they brought the fire dog! It was a black and white pit bull. It sat in the front of the fire truck with its head sticking out the window while the firefighters went in. I loved that it was not a Dalmatian, but still had the same color scheme. I'm starting this collection in honor of non-Dalmatian, I mean non-traditional,* fire dogs.

The first two photos in this collection have a secondary theme, which is "fire dogs wearing hats and smoking pipes"

I have a few others to share, but let me know if you find more!

*Look, nothing personal if you love Dalmatians, but I don't care for them. Plus they shouldn't get all the credit for fighting fires.
