Prior to the events of ''Kingdom Hearts'', Pongo's [[world]] was destroyed. With his wife Perdita, he somehow found his way to Traverse Town (presumably by a [[Corridor of Darkness]]).

In addition, the ninety-nine puppies which Pongo and Perdita looked after had been thrown about to other worlds in the chaos.

Pongo is the ideal father. He is very caring of his wife and pups and in ''Kingdom Hearts'' his remorse at losing the latter is very pronounced.

He also devised numerous escape plans when his family was being hunted for their fur by the villanous Cruella De Vil.

==Abilities==
Pongo has no apparent abilities in the [[Kingdom Hearts|''Kingdom Hearts'' universe]] as of yet. But as displayed in the movie, he is a very cunning planner and a very tough fighter.


==Origin==
==Origin==
Pongo's appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts'' is based on his look in Walt Disney's ''101 Dalmatians''. That film was in turn inspired by the book ''The Hundred and One Dalmatians'' by Dodie Smith, which was published in 1956. Although Pongo was essentially characterized the same in both the film and the book, he was married to another dalmatian (named Missis) in the original book, and by the end of the story found himself the father of ninety-seven puppies, as two of the total one hundred and one were adult dogs who lived with Pongo's family.

Perdita is actually a hybrid of the characters Perdita and Missis from the original book. Missis is Pongo's wife, while Perdita is a stray taken in by the family to help care for Missis's original fifteen puppies.
 
==Trivia==


* Pongo lacks a voice actor in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', as Sora and his friends do not have a method for communicating with animals unless they are in said animal's world and/or they utilize Donald's magic to become that breed of animal themselves (as is reflected in Sora's friendship with [[Simba]] and his journey to the [[Pride Lands]]).
