The most athletic dog I have ever owned

My Dalmatian runs alongside my bicycle for fifteen miles without showing fatigue. He is extraordinary physically, lean, fast, and seemingly inexhaustible. He is devoted to me and to my family, reserved at first with strangers but warm once he has assessed them. His shedding is impressive and constant. White hairs get into everything. But his personality and athleticism more than justify the extra vacuuming. A wonderful breed for active people.
