==Biography==
===One Hundred and One Dalmatians===
Pongo originally lived in a flat in London with his owner (pet in Pongo's view) Roger Radcliffe. Tired of bachelor life, Pongo wishes to find Roger a significant other. As he watches other dogs and their owners walk past, Pongo notices a female Dalmatian named Perdita walking with her owner Anita. Deciding that Anita would be perfect for Roger, Pongo secretly changes the time on Roger's clock to make him think that it is time to take Pongo a walk. Pongo leads Roger to a park where they run into Perdita and Anita. Pongo and Perdita's leads get tangled around Roger and Anita, causing them to fall into a pond. Fortunately, they see the funny side and eventually fall in love and marry as do Pongo and Perdita.
Months later, Pongo and Perdita become parents to fifteen puppies. However weeks later, whilst Pongo and Perdita go out for a nightly walk with Roger and Anita, two men named Jasper and Horace, under the orders of Anita's old school friend Cruella De Vil, subdue their maid Nanny and steal the puppies for her to kill for their fur. News spreads of the missing puppies. After seeing little hope of the humans finding their puppies, Pongo uses the Twilight Bark to spread the news to the other dogs in England, starting with Danny the Great Dane at Hampstead. Pongo and Perdita eventually learn that their puppies are being kept by Cruella and her henchmen in an old mansion in Suffolk and leave London, on a long journey to rescue them. With help from a dog named Colonel and a cat named Sergeant Tibbs, Pongo and Perdita are able to rescue their puppies as well as 84 other puppies whom they soon become the adoptive parents of and they begin to travel back to London. They are pursed by Cruella, Jasper, and Horace, but are able to outwit them.
Pongo, Perdita, and the puppies eventually return home and reunite with Roger, Anita, and Nanny, who decide to keep the other 84 puppies.
===101 Dalmatians===
===101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure===
In this sequel to the 1961 film, Pongo and his family are moving to the countryside, but afterwards notice that their son Patch is missing. Pongo blames himself for Patch's disappearance as he had lost count of the puppies, but Perdita tells him not to blame himself. Pongo, Perdita, Roger and Anita head back to London to find Patch and eventually do and happily reunite with him.
===101 Dalmatian Street===
Although Pongo does not make a physical appearance in the series due to it taking place over fifty years after One Hundred and One Dalmatians, a photo of him and Perdita is seen on the staircase the titular house, which is the home of Dylan (who is the great-great-great-grandson of Pongo and Perdita via his mother Delilah) and his family.
==Personality==
Pongo shows to be a loving husband, a devoted father, and a faithful pet. He views his pet Roger as his closet friend and the true reason Roger and Anita met. Even after becoming a father, Pongo remains care-free. He is extremely protective of his wife and children. He was content and sweet to his children as the main protagonist. He even faced the villainous Cruella De Vil.
==Appearance==
Pongo is a dalmatian with white fur, black spots, black ears, a black nose, brown eyes and a red collar with a gold license
However, in some book adaptations of the film and in 101 Dalmatians: Escape from DeVil Manor, Pongo is seen wearing a blue collar.
==Trivia==
*When Pongo and Perdita are growling and snarling when they attack Jasper and Horace, they sound like Tramp from Lady and the Tramp when he growls and snarls.
*In the original book, Pongo is married to a female Dalmatian named Missis instead of Perdita, who instead served as a wet nurse to his and Missis' puppies.
