Once there were two Dalmatian named Pongo and Perdita. They lived in a snug little house in London.
Their pets, Anita and Roger Radcliff, lived with them.
Nanny, the housekeeper, took care of them all.
One day, Pongo had some wonderful news.
Loss was about to have puppies!
Everyone was very happy.
Finally the big day has arrived.
"The puppies are here!" Nanny wept.
"How many?" Asked Roger.
"Eight," said Nanny.
"No," cried Anita from the other room. "Eleven! Wait! Fifteen!"
Fifteen puppies!
Loss was very pround.
"Pongo, old rascal," said Roger. He thought the puppies were wonderful.
"It will get their points when they are a bit 'bigger," said Nanny.
Suddenly there was thunder. In swept Anita Cruella De Vil old friend. His fur long trailing behind her.
"I see the pups are finally here," he said. "I, but everyone."
"No sale!" Said Roger.
"You'll be sorry!" Cruella snapped as she left. Pongo and Perdita were happy to see her leave.
But Cruella was not finished. "I can not stop," he chuckled.
Cruella Horace and Jasper Badun hired to steal the puppies. "As soon as you get a chance, hidden in their house and take those puppies," he told them.
"You must wait until the puppies get their spots," he added. "But then it will be mine!"
Every day, the puppies have grown larger. And every day, they got more points!
The puppy loved watching the television. The show is liked the most was a dog named Thunderbolt.
"Get 'em, Thunderbolt" cried Penny.
"Time for bed," said Pongo when the show ended.
"Oh, Dad, we're not sleeping," said Lucky.
After the puppies went to bed, Pongo and Perdita went to the park. Roger and Anita have taken with them.
But as soon as they came out, Horace and Jasper went in!
Nanny Jasper locked in the attic. Horace put all the puppies in a big sack. They took all fifteen puppies!
When Roger and Anita returned, Nanny told them what had happened. Roger called the police. But the police could not find the puppies.
Perdita and Pongo are very upset.
Then Pongo had an idea. "Let the Twilight Bark," he said. "It 's our only hope."
"Okay," Loss of agreement.
Pongo barked in a special code.
"Yap and Yip and yelp, whine, whine! Fifteen puppies need your help! Calling all dogs and yippers yappers. Please help find their cruel captors!"
The message was passed from dog to dog. He woke Towser, a hound who lived way out in the country.
"Hmmph!" Growled Towser, Lucy the goose. "A message from the city. An important one, too! I'd better tell the people in the company."
Old Towser Barking woke up a cat named Sergeant Tibs.
Tibs said the captain, a horse, to awaken a sheepdog named Colonel.
The Colonel's ears pricked up. "Fifteen puddles Pinto have been stolen!"
"I think that puppies, sir," said Sergeant Tibs.
Tibs remembered hearing some barking 'at the old place De Vil.
"Nonsense! That house has been empty for years," said the colonel.
"No more," replied the captain. "There is smoke from the chimney."
"Then you better investigate, Tibs," barked the Colonel. They went to the old house.
Sergeant Tibs slipped into the house.
What a surprise!
He saw 90 - nine Dalmatian puppies! Fifteen of them were piled in front of the TV.
"Those should be the ones!" Tibs said. He raced back to tell the other.
The colonel sent a message. Dog from the dog, the message was passed from country to town.
"Listen, Perdy!" Said Pongo. "It 's the Great Dane. Have an answer for us."
The two Dalmatians raced to meet the big dog.
"The puppies were found in the place de vil", the Great Dane said.
"We must go at once!" Loss cried.
When they reached the village, Sergeant Tibs and the Colonel were waiting for them.
"Follow us," said Sergeant Tibs. "No time to waste!"
They hid in the old house.
"What does Cruella with all these puppies?" They felt ask Jasper.
"He says he's going to make a coat," said Horace.
"A dog -? Skin Coat" cried loss. "How cruel!"
He counted the puppies. "Pongo" She whispered. "There are 90 - nine puppies here!"
"We must take them all home with us," said Pongo. "Let's go."
Sergeant Tibs has pioneered. Horace and Jasper did not see them go. They were too busy watching television!
The following Dalmatians Tibs to the barn.
But they were still safe.
Horace and Jasper had finally noticed the puppies were gone. They were following their tracks in the snow!
"Here they are!" Tibs cried. "You'd better do something."
"We hold off," said the captain Pongo.
The Dalmatians fled out the back door.
And the Captain gave Baduns kicked when they came through the front door!
Pongo and Perdita brought the puppies through a snowstorm.
Pongo suddenly heard a car. "Quick, hide!" He urged. The dog hid under a bridge.
Fortunately, Horace and Jasper do not see them.
Pongo decided to walk along the frozen stream. In this way, Horace and Jasper could not keep track of them.
Home seemed far away!
"My nose is frozen!" Lucky whimpered. "And my tail is frozen! And my fingers are frozen!"
All puppies have been tried and hungry.
Just then Pongo heard barking friendly.
"Follow me," said a collie. "I have a place for you to stay."
The collie has led them to a warm barn.
Some friendly cows gave milk to drink plenty of puppies.
Soon 90 - nine puppies were asleep in the hay.
Pongo and Perdita thanked the cows and the collie.
"Tomorrow morning you can go to the village," said Collie. "A Labrador'll meet you there. He will show you how to get home."
The next morning, Pongo and Perdita continued on their way.
Pongo Cruella knew he would be looking for them.
He tried to drive away her tracks with a branch.
But Cruella has seen the tracks. "They're headed for the village!" He yelled.
When the dogs reached the village, the Labrador was waiting for them. He led them to a blacksmith shop vacuum.
"I have a ride for you," he said. "A van is leaving for London soon. There is room for all of you."
But Cruella and her men had reached the village, too.
Cruella was angry with Horace and Jasper. "Finding them! Find now!" He cried.
"I place, as we'll get the van?" Loss whispered.
Just then, Lucky said, "Patch pushed me!" It was covered in soot.
"He pushed me first!" Patch whimpered. He was covered in soot, too.
I place that gave an idea.
Rolled in soot. "Look, I am a Labrador. Come on, Perdy. Let us all be Labradors!"
Soon all the Dalmatians were covered with soot.
"We're going to fool the bad lady!" Puppies chuckled.
The van was preparing to leave.
"Better hurry," said Labrador.
One by one the puppies come into the van. They almost made it!
But the last puppy stuck in the snow.
The snow washed away the soot.
There are! "Cruella tears.
The van pulled out just in time!
"After them!" Cruella screamed.
Cruella drove too fast for the road slippery.
"Look out!" Exclaimed Horace.
But it was too late. Cruella's car fell down a hill. All landed in the deep, soft snow.
But the car was torn to pieces!
Back in London, Anita and Nanny were decorating the Christmas tree. Roger was too upset to help.
"Pongo and Perdy I miss you so much!" Said Anita.
"I know," said Nanny. "Sometimes, at night, I think I hear them back. But it always be a dream."
"Wait!" Cried Anita. "You have heard that the bark?"
Nanny opened the door. A big black dog jumped on Roger and covered him with kisses and soot.
"And 'Pongo and Perdita and their young!" Nanny cried. She began to dust off the puppies.
Then Anita and Roger noticed the room was full of dogs.
All told, there were a hundred and one Dalmatians!
"Whatever we do with them?" Anita asked.
"We'll buy a big place in the country," said Roger. "A Dalmatian plantation!"
It 'was a happy Christmas after all.
