Zeus is an animal lover, especially for white dogs. He use to walk through the forest and look at all the colors. One day he was watching over the desert, kind of a new thing. He was bored just looking at all the tans, browns, and the greens. Those colors didn't really excite him.
Then all of the sudden he saw
something, something that just kind of stands out through all the
dirt colors. It was white and moving very quickly. Zeus also saw a
human like figure chasing after it. Looking really hard at the two
figures he notice that it was a dog and a human running after it with
a broom. It was Zeus' favorite kind of dog, it was white.
Zeus called Artemis to come and save the dog. Before Zeus knew it, he was trying to save the dog himself. Zeus made it rain and lightning strike down on them. As soon as you could say watch out, the dog was hit by lightning. The dog's name was Shaba. Zeus had killed Shaba and seeing what he did he brought Shaba back to life making him immortal. Shaba had little mud spots all over him that would never come off. Then two years later he had lots of little spot babies and the first baby they named Dalmatian.
