The subsequent animation by Walt Disney and the 1996 live action movie of the same title that featured real Dalmatian dogs, all have catapulted Dalmatian dogs as one of the best recognized breed around the globe. But that however didn't spare Dalmatian dogs from irresponsible or less informed owners, giving the dogs sobriquets that are rather undeserved.
