"Dalmatian" Creation

When I read the word "Dalmatian," I usually think about the "Dalmatian Coast." You'd expect "dog" to pop into my head first, but there's a reason why that isn't so.

When I saw this headline, I again thought about the geographical location.
 
When I saw the photos that accompany the story, I thought, "Cruella DeVille."

I guess you had to grow up in this country for Dalmatian to mean a dog.

It was either fire engines or Texaco.

And you are very pretty in those linked photos.

Thanks, edutcher. That's 1980s hair!
