Lots of people already know the reason why Dalmatian dogs are associated with fire engines. (Honestly, it’s a weird association, if you think about it.) Dalmatian dogs were bred for over two centuries to encourage their horse-following tendencies. At least anecdotally, their purpose was to follow horse-drawn coaches, calmly and consistently, for miles upon miles, without interfering or bothering the horses. This developed to an association with horse-drawn fire engines. Various sources claim that Dalmatians were so widely adapted by firefighters because they kept the horses calm during fires; or maybe they protected the horses and equipment from interference; or maybe they ran on ahead of the fire engine to clear a path.
I extra-like this gif (and proposed backstory) because it seems to imply that modern Dalmatian dogs still have an affinity for horses and will follow them.
Just appreciate him. If for no other reason then because he appreciated Hermione.
Victor Krum was ready to fight Xenophilus Lovegood of all people in the goddamn street because he was wearing the wizard Nazi symbol from ww2. Like no holds barred throw down.
