==Biography==
===101 Dalmatians (1961)===
After Pongo and Perdita’s fifteen Dalmatian puppies were stolen by Cruella's two conspirators, Jasper and Horace, Pongo told Perdita that he decided to use the Twilight Bark to help spread the news to all the dogs in London and all over Great Britain. That night, while on their usual walk with Roger and Anita at the top of Primrose Hill in Regent's Park, Pongo barks out the messege to Danny at Hampstead. 
Although Pongo is dragged away by Roger, who got annoyed that Pongo is disturbing the whole neighborhood, the messege is send to Danny at Hampstead. He barks at Pongo's response, when a little terrier named Scottie comes out of the house and tells him about who's barking. He tells Scottie that it's the message from Pongo at Primrose Hill. Scottie asks him about what's going on, but he tells him to wait for a moment. So as Scottie goes to another fence to hear Pongo’s howl from a far distance, Danny realizes something important from Pongo's message. As Scottie asks what's the message for the second time, he tells the little terrier that Pongo and Perdita's fifteen puppies were stolen. Scottie asks him about their humans calling the law enforcement, but Danny knows that the humans have tried everything and it's now up to them and the other dogs in Great Britain with the Twilight Bark. Scottie starts the alert by yipping loudly, but barks like a jackhammer and grips himself on the column to prevent himself from falling. The two dogs barked and howled loudly through the whole neighborhood until their message reaches Jock from Lady and the Tramp, who sends the message up to a drain pipe of the house where Prissy sends the message to the dogs of the pet store. Throughout the night, the message was spread all over London until it reaches to an old English countryside in Suffolk where Old Towser the Bloodhound passes the message on to the Colonel, Captain, and Sergeant Tibbs.
Danny makes another appearance when he summons Pongo and Perdita in Primrose Hill where he tells them that the puppies are being held at Hell Hall in Suffolk. He leads them to Camden Park, giving them instructions to head to Withermarsh where they would contact Towser, who would lead them to the Colonel, who would take the Dalmatians to the mansion. When Perdita becomes stunned about the name "De Vil", Danny questions if it's someone Pongo and Perdita knew, but he gets no answer as Pongo insisted that there's no time to explain. So as he and Perdita leave London, Danny wishes them luck and if they get lost, they should contact the barking chain that they’ll will be standing by.
After this, Danny is not shown anymore for the rest of the film, though it can be implied that after Pongo, Perdita, and the 99 puppies return home, he and the other dogs in London discovered that it was Cruella who was behind the dognapping theft.
===101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventures===
Danny reappears in 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventures; this time, as a cameo when he and another Great Dane named Tiny, after hearing a Chihauhua barking from a phone booth, started sending the message across London, once again.
