UPI – A Florida man with a particular love of one specific dog breed earned a Guinness World Record for the largest collection of dalmatian-related items, with 1,152 pieces.
Scott Erbele of Fort Lauderdale said his collection began with a dalmatian lamp his parents bought him when he was a baby in 1954, and his love of the dog breed really took off a few years later, when he started to idolise firefighters.
“My parents bought a home in 1963, located in Silver Spring, Maryland, fortunately across the street from the volunteer fire station,” Erbele Guinness World Records.
“The alerting siren would blow, and I would run to the firehouse, answer the phone, and open the doors for the arriving firefighters.”
