An Sergeant Tibbs

Sergeant Tibbs is a tabby cat and a supporting character from 101 Dalmatians. He is the sidekick of the Colonel and also an ally to Pongo and Perdita, as he helps the couple rescue their fifteen puppies as well as eighty-four other puppies who join their family.
==Background==
Tibbs is considerably the Colonel's most loyal rank member (and most likely best friend). As a sergeant, whenever he is given an order by a superior officer, he will always be quick to follow that instruction. Tibbs is also shown to be easily startled when he is awakened by the Captain's loud neighing. However, like the Captain and the Colonel, Tibbs has been shown to be courageous and resourceful in rescuing the puppies from Cruella.
==Appearances==
===One Hundred and One Dalmatians===
One night, Sergeant Tibbs is sleeping when he is awakened by the Captain with an urgent message from London. Sergeant Tibbs and his friend the Colonel learn about the fifteen missing Dalmatian Puppies. Tibbs recalls about remembering hearing puppies barking over at Hell Hall (the Old De Vil Place). He and the Colonel travel to the manor. Sergeant Tibbs enters investigating the area and soon finds 99 Dalmatian puppies (the fifteen original puppies and eighty-four puppies other puppies that were bought from pet stores). Before Tibbs can save the puppies, Cruella De Vil's minions, Jasper and Horace, find the tabby cat (Jasper sees him first when he mistakenly grabs him instead of a bottle of wine) and begin to attack. Thankfully, Sergeant Tibbs escapes the Baduns. He reports the finding of the puppies to the Colonel, who sends the message back to London through the barking chain and the message is received by the Great Dane. Later on, Sergeant Tibbs and the Colonel try to make contact with Pongo and Perdita, the parents of the missing fifteen pups, but to no avail. Out of nowhere, a car makes its way to the De Vil Place, resulting in Sergeant Tibbs and the Colonel going to investigate yet again. This time around, Tibbs learns the diabolical plan of Cruella De Vil: to make dog-skin fur coats. Sergeant Tibbs successfully sneaks the puppies out of the main living room, but their disappearance is discovered by Jasper and Horace, and a chase follows. Sergeant Tibbs and the puppies are soon cornered and nearly killed until Pongo and Perdita burst in and battle the Baduns. Sergeant Tibbs and the puppies escape with the Colonel back to the barn. There, Sergeant Tibbs and the Colonel watch the happy reunion, but it all takes a turn for the worst when Jasper and Horace appear once again. The Dalmatians escape, leaving Tibbs, the Colonel, and the Captain to battle the Baduns. However, their battle leads to Jasper and Horace finding paw prints of the Dalmatians, continuing the chase.
