Animated Movies
One Hundred and One Dalmatians
The Great Dane is named Danny in One Hundred and One Dalmatians, who lives with a smaller zany terrier. When their 15 puppies are stolen by Jasper and Horace, Pongo and Perdita decide to use the Twilight Bark to ask for help from the other dogs of London. Danny is the first one who heard Pongo. He decides to help them and manages to spread the news. When he is informed of the puppies whereabouts, he calls Pongo and Perdita to tell them the news. They meet at Primrose Hill where Danny informs Pongo and Perdita that their puppies have been located somewhere North, in Suffolk. Danny leads them to Camden Road giving instructs them to head to Rivermarsh and search for Towser who will lead them to the Colonel, who will take them to De Vil's palace. When Perdita signals shock at the name "De Vil," Danny questions if it's someone that Pongo and Perdita know, but he gets no answer as Pongo feels there's no time to explain. He wishes Pongo and Perdita good luck and reminds them that if they lose their way, they should contact "The Barking Chain" that is standing by. His help is useful to Pongo and Perdita, as they found their puppies in the end.
He is not seen through the rest of the film, but it can be assumed that he found out that the puppies returned home.
101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure
Danny makes a brief cameo during the Twilight Bark sequence in 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure. Danny is seen with another Great Dane called Tiny, who both overhear a Chihauhua barking from a phone box and start sending the message across London too.
Their humans appear to be two of the performers whom appear in Mary Poppins during the "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" number.
