Pongo and Perdita are a pair of dalmatians who appears in Kingdom Hearts. They take care of 99 Puppies.

Story

Kingdom Hearts

Prior to the events of Kingdom Hearts, Pongo and Perdita's world was destroyed. Together, they somehow found their way to Traverse Town. In addition, the ninety-nine puppies which Pongo and Perdita looked after had been thrown about to other worlds in the chaos.

The story of the dalmatians' plight managed to spread very quickly amongst the residents of Traverse Town.[citation needed] Leon was especially concerned about the matter, and brought it to Sora's attention.[1] Throughout his journey, Sora found the dalmatian puppies and sent them back to Pongo and Perdita in Traverse Town. Pongo and Perdita were very grateful, and offered Sora gifts for his journey as more and more dalmatians were returned to them.

After the defeat of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, Pongo and Perdita returned home, along with all of the puppies.

Design

Pongo and Perdita are typical dalmatians with white fur that is speckled with black spots. Pongo wears a red collar, while Perdita wears a blue collar.

Personality

Pongo is the ideal father. He is very caring of his wife and puppies, and his anguish at losing the latter is very pronounced.[citation needed]

Perdita is a very protective mother and is despondent at the loss of her puppies. She constantly frets for the safety of her pups, and keeps a very close watch on them.

Origin

Pongo and Perdita first appeared in Walt Disney's 101 Dalmatians, which in turn was 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, away from Cruella De Vil. 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.
