[video description: a Dalmatian following a horse that is white with black spots. end description.]

[weaselle]

this is, btw, probably extremely fulfilling for this dog.

Dalmatians were supposed to be hunting dogs at the founding of the breed, but what they mostly became bred and used for was carriage dogs.

A carriage dog is a dog whose job it is to run alongside a horse and carriage and prevent anyone from interfering with it. They were excellent carriage security. Nobody could reach up and grab the horses reins, nobody could try to open the carriage door - you could even park with peace of mind

This is also how they became known as firehouse dogs, because fire trucks used to look like this

and i imagine having a carriage dog was very useful to prevent even well-meaning members of the public from doing anything stupid to the equipment or horses while you fought a fire.

So the dog in the video is probably feeling very Job Well Done about his activity

Rating: Mature

Fandom: 15th Century RPF

Relationship: Richard Courtenay/Henry V

Summary:  ‘When I’m feeling particularly righteous,’ he said, ‘I think, at least he’s not having sex, at least I’ve saved him from that sin. Or is it when I’m feeling particularly spiteful that I think that?’

Content/Warnings: asexuality, non-sexual intimacy, asexual erotics, religious references, the priest's two bodies, references to the non-asexual's sexual history, insecurity

Notes: This began life as a companion to Intimacy, though I think it ultimately is set in an adjacent but slightly different world.
