Why do dalmations smile?

Dalmatians smiles are called "smarls". Smarls are a mixture of smiles and snarls. Only Dalmatians can smarl.

Don't get snarls and smarls mixed up, if a dog is growling with it's tail not wagging it's a snarl and means it's angry, if it's wagging it's tail happily it's a smarl.

Smarls are comman with every Dalmatian you get.

How do you care for a dwarf hamster that was dropped on a hard floor and one of its back legs and one of its front legs seem to be paralyzed?

Dwarf hamsters are very small and it's hard for vets to handle them (from my personal experience). There may not be a way to heal them. If they need surgery, it's very hard to put them under anesthesia. They may or may not come out the same or may not come out at all.

You need to make sure the little hamster is comfy so make sure he/she has cotton wool in his bed, lots of fresh water, salad and other supplies to keep him nourished and his usual food. Also avoid handling him/her.

What does a Dalmatian Alaskan Malamute mix look like?

I had a Dalmatian Malamute mix named Pete, who recently passed away, he was 12 years and eight months old. He was the size of a Malamute, in his prime he weighed about 100 lbs., he was about 29 inches tall to the top of his head. His coloring was that of a dalmatian, white with black spots but his hair was medium length and soft like a malamute. In the face he looked like a malamute but with brown eyes. For the most part he was a social dog except when he was laying down or eating, it was best to leave him alone at those times.
