Captain The Horse

The **Captain** is a gray horse who wears a red British military horse blanket in Disney's ***1961*** animated film *101 Dalmatians*. He is an ally in the mission to rescue the puppies along with the Colonel, his sheepdog leader, and Sergeant Tibbs, a tabby cat.Template:Animal-CharacterFile:Profile - Captain The Horse.PNG

## Background

The Captain serves as the Colonel's lieutenant and informs him or Tibbs whenever there is an alert. He can be very bossy at times and is shown to have the ability to neigh loudly. However, his neighing is often used to get a sleeping Tibbs to wake up and report to the Colonel. Like Tibbs and the Colonel, the Captain has been shown to be courageous and resourceful in rescuing the puppies from Cruella. Before residing on a farm, he apparently served in the ***British*** Army, due to the sign over the farm's gate that identifies the farm as belonging to a retired British cavalry officer.

## Appearances

### *One Hundred and One Dalmatians*

The Captain first appears at the barn where he hears old ***Towser***'s bark and realizes it's an alert. The horse wakes up Sgt. Tibbs the cat and orders him to report the alert to the Colonel, to which he does. When Tibbs and the Colonel return, the Captain tells the Colonel that the alert is from Towser at Withermarsh. The Colonel barks in response to the alert and receives news from Towser that 15 puppies from London have been stolen. Tibbs then informs the Captain and Colonel that he heard puppy barking over at Hell Hall (the Old De Vil Place) two nights ago, which the Colonel initially doesn't believe because no one has lived there for years.

The Captain then points out that some smoke is coming out of the chimney, prompting the curious Colonel and Tibbs to investigate. Later on, when the Colonel and Tibbs are waiting for the puppies' parents (the Pongos) to come and rescue them, the Captain asks the Colonel if they've come back, to which the Colonel says no. Just then, Tibbs sees a car coming and watches as it parks at Hell Hall. The Colonel and Tibbs decide to investigate, leaving the Captain to be on alert for the Pongos. Later on, after Pongo and Perdita fight off Cruella's henchmen, Jasper and Horace, and rescue their 15 puppies along with 84 puppies that were bought at the Pet Shop, they reconvene at the barn and graciously thank the Captain, the Colonel, and Tibbs for helping to rescue the puppies.

Then the Captain spots the Baduns coming in their truck, so Pongo, Perdita, and the puppies decide to leave. The Captain, the Colonel, and Tibbs wish them good luck and promise to hold off Jasper and Horace. While the Baduns are distracted by the Colonel, the Captain, with Tibbs' help, manages to hit both of the villains in the rear with his back left hoof, sending them into the wall. The Captain doesn't appear nor is he mentioned throughout the rest of the film after this scene.
