They were used for duck hunting long ago, then as protection for coach horses, sleeping in the stables with them. The dogs ran beside the horses and coaches during the day, helping to clear the way.
They became used with the firewagons. A red hat was put on them and they ran ahead of the firewagons when needed.
That is why they are mascots today of fire companies.

They were used for duck searching earlier, then as secure practices for coach horses, drowsing in the stables with them. The canines ran beside the horses and coaches in the course of the day, helping to sparkling the way. They became used with the firewagons. A pink hat became positioned on them and they ran prior to the firewagons at the same time as necessary. it quite is why they're mascots at present of fireplace organizations.
