The Dog

There's a new dog running in my street.
Started noticing this dog since a couple of weeks ago. No dog tag. Initially I thought the dog belongs to a neighbour but one morning I noticed the dog sleeping under a neighbour's car. I wonder if this dog is homeless.
The dog looks like a dalmation (but I'm no dog expert) - black face, white body with black spots. Sleek body and beautiful coat of short fur. So if the dog is in fact homeless, I think it's a recent status. I've yet to determine if the dog is of a male or female gender.
Am having thoughts of adopting this dog.
