As Puss escapes the Soul's Cave, Perro and Kitty noticed him running away, unaware that he is escaping from Death.

==Personality==
Perrito is a happy-go-lucky, optimistic dog whose goal is to be a therapy dog in the future. He makes the best out of everything, shown by how unfazed he was when talking about his backstory, in which he was thrown off to a river inside a sock and he made the best of it by getting a "free sweater" out of the sock.
As Perrito is the only one who can keep the Dark Forest as a pure and safe place due to the lack of selfishness in his heart whenever he is in contact with the map (as the forest becomes a reflection on the heart of whoever last touched the map), he is the only one who is best qualified to carry it throughout their journey.

==Trivia==
*Despite being a source of comedic relief and one of the more pure characters in the movie, Perrito is also the most foul-mouthed, being the only character to use profanities to the point that when he joins in Goldi and Baby Bear's insult battle, he shocks the whole family with his "vocabulary".
*A common headcanon in the community is that Death could have saved Perrito when he was thrown in the river, which would make sense as Perrito exemplifies the movie's theme of cherishing life, which Death also does and thus saving him to let him live his life out properly would make sense.
*Perrito is unique in the movie's cast of major characters as he is introduced with an "Unwanted" poster instead of a wanted poster. The only other character to not have a wanted poster is the Wolf, aka Death, who lacks any sort of introduction poster due to being the physical manifestation of death.
*Perrito is one of the two major characters not to want to make a wish on the Wishing Star, next to Death. 
*Perrito's name literally means "Puppy" in Spanish, which is exactly what he is. Specifically, "Perrito" is the term for a male puppy, with "Perrita" being the term for a female puppy, and the feminine form of "Perrito".
*According to the Via Audio Commentary, John Mulaney was originally supposed to voice Perrito in the film, but the filmmakers didn’t think his comedy would fit with Perrito's "sincerity". He ended up voicing Big Jack Horner instead.
