An obedience-trained Dalmatian dog travels with each hitch, a Budweiser tradition since the 1950s. Its roots trace back to Croatia and its historical region of Dalmatia. Historically, the role of the Dalmatian was to run under the carriage (not riding on top of it) and or wagon as it traveled down the road and to attack anything approaching the horses and to protect the team while the driver went inside buildings to make deliveries. For this, the dog needed excellent endurance and stamina.

I see they had extra riders on the wagon too, did not know they allowed that. I love that you captured that handsome dalmatian riding along, very spot on capture with good color. tigs=^..^=

---to protect the team while the driver went inside buildings to make deliveries---

Does riding on top instead of traveling down the road mean that the bear boxes are empty now, Momma? (lol).

Excellent continuation of this series, Pat!

"Every dog has his day" - so is the saying. This one has been given the reward for which his predecessors worked hard. Another fine post from this angle.
