**Tito** (full name: **Ignacio Alonzo Julio Frederico de Tito**) is one of Fagin's dogs in Disney's *Oliver & Company*. He was voiced by Cheech Marin.

## Description

Tito is a slender beige Chihuahua with red hair, a black nose, a notched left ear, both brown muzzle and feet who wears a green headband. His Spanish-American accent suggests he's a Mexican dog. Despite his size, his fiery temper goads him into fights with anybody including dogs larger than him; embodying the stereotype of many small dogs like Chihuahuas for example that can prove to be much fiercer than big dogs.

He is shown to be temperamental, pushy, tough, hyper, confident, shrewd, wise-cracking, flirtatious, and good-hearted.

## Appearances

### *Oliver & Company*

In a barge, Tito is first seen dancing to his Latin music on the radio while holding a wallet in his mouth. On his way to add it to a collection of "loot" in a box for his owner, Fagin, he deliberately wakes Einstein up, sleeping with a broken Tennis racket in his mouth.

After adding the wallet to the collection, Tito suddenly gets scolded at by Francis who tells him to stop making noise since he is watching *Macbeth*, which he apparently knows by heart when seen mouthing the words from it. Agitated, Tito proceeds to taunt Francis by annoying him with excessive talking and criticism, which almost provokes the latter to losing his temper and starting a close fight while calling him a "little rodent". After Tito humorously calls him "Frankie" for the umpteenth time, he is given an uninteresting education about the latter's real name; being told to call him neither "Frank" nor "Frankie" ever again but simply, "Francis". Then, Tito sarcastically asks "Frahn-cees" what kind of food he brought in for the gang today, only for Francis to further state that it’s none of his business while referring to him as an "intrusive little pipsqueak."

Then, Einstein comes along and shows them his "loot". After Francis sarcastically congratulates him and suggests that all they need now is the court and net as Einstein naively takes him seriously, Tito states that what they need is some good quality stuff while showing them the wallet. However, when Francis refers to Tito's "loot" as nothing more than just "shredded leather" and "rubbish", this upsets Tito up to a point where he starts losing his temper and arguing with Francis for having insulted his pride until Rita wakes up and silences them. After Rita checks out the "loot" while deducing that their owner is not going to be too happy about this when he returns and then asks Francis if he got the food, Tito and the others become more upset and disappointed when they learn that Francis had actually forgotten the fact that it was his turn to get the food today.

Luckily, their leader, Dodger arrives just in time to cheer them up with his own stolen stash of food for the day: hot dogs. While enjoying their dinner, they ask Dodger to tell them how he did it. At first, Dodger describes every event that occurred during the day until he begins to exaggerate when he mentions a "monster" in his story, which begins to frighten Tito and the others. But then, everyone becomes even more scared, panics, and each one tries to find a place to hide when something covered in cloth suddenly falls and crashes into their home right in front of them; thinking it's the "monster" from Dodger's story. Wondering what it is, Tito approaches to investigate until a mysterious paw tears through the cloth and accidentally scratches him on the nose. Naively thinking it's an "alien", Tito panics and flees in terror until it is revealed to be in fact, a cat named Oliver as pointed out by Rita to everyone when she sees the result for herself.

Having learned half of the truth, the gang except Dodger surrounds and interrogates Oliver. Tito naively thinks that Oliver is lying when the latter explains that he followed Dodger, only to be silenced by Rita with a kick. After Oliver answers Francis and Einstein's questions, Tito, thinking that Oliver is a spy, insists that they eat him instead. However, when Oliver further reveals the truth about his involvement in Dodger's sausage theft and with Dodger to respectfully back him up when he fully admits that the former did in fact, help him in his latest scheme, Tito and the others begin to develop respect for the kitten.

Then, Tito and the others except Rita proceed to mock and laugh at Dodger about his "monster" story. Despite being told by Dodger to keep it down while watching the baseball game on T.V., Tito persists on mocking him while knocking the former's sunglasses off of him and turning off the television. Slightly annoyed, Dodger tells Tito to cool it but the latter now insists on seeing that "big, bad kitty fight in action". This provokes Dodger to deliberately divert Tito's attention the other way and a dogpile fight commences with the rest of the dogs. Although considering her friends as overgrown and immature, Rita finally joins in as well when Tito accidentally lands on her. Slightly frightened, Oliver hides inside the "loot" box during the fight.

Later, a voice is heard in the background, telling the dogs to stop the play-fight. It is revealed to be the dogs' owner, Fagin, having returned home with a box of dog biscuits, which he presumably either bought or stole earlier in the day for his pets. When the dogs cease the play-fight and notice the box, Fagin tries to remind them that his evil boss, Sykes will be here any minute for the money he owes him, which he unfortunately doesn't have, only to receive a warm welcome from his dogs instead to make him forget about his worries as they proceed to lick him affectionately despite his protests while Tito stuffs his mouth with dozens of biscuits in it. However, their happiness is short-lived when they hear a honking noise outside, knowing this means that Sykes has arrived, so, he asks his dogs to bring him the "loot" box. Unfortunately, Fagin is disappointed by the junk his dogs brought for him as "loot" to pay back Sykes and before he can examine Oliver whom he discovers inside the box, Sykes' two Dobermans, Roscoe and DeSoto suddenly barge in and shoo him out to talk to their master while they taunt his dogs as Oliver hides from them.

While Fagin is out talking to Sykes, Roscoe tries in vain to flirt with a repulsed Rita while DeSoto sniffs around the place, only to be deliberately insulted by Francis later on, whom Tito cheers and congratulates with a high-five to encourage him some more. However, when Roscoe angrily confronts Francis, Tito, not intimidated by the Dobermans, tries to defend his friend by challenging Roscoe to a fight and trying to attack him, only to be restrained by Einstein to avoid any real trouble. When Einstein further insults Roscoe, the latter angrily confronts him until Dodger intervenes in order to calm him down. When Dodger asks him if he's lost his sense of humor, Roscoe replies otherwise and deliberately smashes the T.V. with a kick to prove his point, sadistically stating that he finds that funny as he lets out a cold, sinister chuckle. Later, when it's time for the Dobermans to leave after hearing their master call for them with his car horn, Oliver is unfortunately discovered by DeSoto and when Oliver scratches him on the nose for trying in vain to eat him rather than to heed his master's call, both Dobermans try to attack him, but not before Dodger and later, the rest of the gang intervene in order to protect their new cat friend from their enemies; making them hesitate when they realize they are outnumbered.

When their master calls for them again, Roscoe and DeSoto leave but not before swearing revenge on their enemies, starting with Oliver. Still not intimidated, Tito berates them behind their backs as they exit the barge before returning inside and Francis high-fives him for his brave efforts.

Then, after accidentally falling off a pier, Fagin walks in all wet and sad, lamenting over the three days he has been given by Sykes as his last chance to pay him back or suffer the consequences that may befall both him and his dogs. Feeling sorry for their master, Tito and the others do everything they can to cheer him up. Tito fetches Fagin's slippers while the others help him relax his feet, cover him up, and feed him a dog biscuit. Rejoiced, Fagin thanks his dogs; much to their joy. After meeting and accepting Oliver into the gang, it's time for bed but Einstein insists Fagin read them a bedtime story first. At first, Fagin is reluctant as he is too tired but after hearing Einstein's sad whining, he changes his mind and chooses to read only one chapter for tonight. After Francis brings the lamp over to Fagin, Tito fixes it in his direction to help him read better. During the reading, however, Tito becomes slightly annoyed by Einstein breathing deeply on his hair. Later, Tito is seen sleeping next to Francis before using the latter's left cheek as a cover.

The next morning, the gang including Oliver is riding through the streets in Fagin's scooter. After crashing in an alley, Fagin instructs his pets to get out and search for food while he tries to find a way to earn or even steal money within the next two days before the deadline. Wanting to help their owner with his financial problems while searching for food at the same time, the dogs as well as Oliver agree on this plan and proceed to execute it, starting on Columbus Avenue. Then, the gang; especially Rita, teaches Oliver a lesson about how the best survive by keeping their dreams alive and working together through singing "Streets of Gold". During the song, the gang saves Oliver from a vicious alley dog by simply growling at him, which makes the alley dog cower and run away in fear. The gang is amused when they notice Oliver "barking" like a dog at his wannabe-attacker before carrying on with their objective.

Noticing a beige limousine in their path, Dodger comes up with a plan on how to steal the car's radio that Fagin can pawn off at a shop and earn money in exchange as minor payment for his debt to Sykes, using Einstein and mainly, Francis as distractions and Tito as the "electrician/electronics technician" with Oliver to help him out while Dodger and Rita handle the crowd. After Einstein deliberately runs headfirst into the car so as to make it look as though the driver, Winston had hit something and Francis takes his place as the "victim", Winston gets out and tends to Francis while Tito and Oliver sneak inside the car. While Tito is handling wire disconnections, Oliver asks him questions, which slowly begin to annoy the former. Therefore, Tito simply assigns Oliver as a lookout looking outside the window to "make sure it's still daylight." However, Oliver is distracted and slightly alarmed by a noise at the back and when he tries to warn Tito about it, the latter tells him to stop hassling him and reassures him that he will take care of it as soon as he is done with one more wire. Unfortunately, Oliver accidentally slips on the ignition, which causes the car to go haywire and sends a barbecued Tito literally flying out the window in a flash. Tito makes pinball noises against a few garbage cans and finally, a street lamp through which the electric current flows through from the electrocution, releasing its bulb, which lands on Einstein's head and helps him regain consciousness. Having retreated somewhere in a nearby alley and with Oliver caught in the wires as the car drives away, Dodger reprimands Tito for not keeping an eye on Oliver like he was supposed to, to which Tito angrily states that it’s hard to watch anything when getting barbecued.

Worried about Oliver, Dodger and Tito follow the car he was taken in while the others return to Fagin. Dodger and Tito track him to a mansion where he is taken in by a young girl named Jenny Foxworth. Rushing in without thinking, Tito naively tries to retrieve Oliver but not before Dodger restrains him, knowing they would never have a chance.

A few moments later, Dodger and Tito return to the rest of the gang at a pawn shop, thinking that their friend is in danger when in fact, he has been adopted by Jenny as his new owner. Stuck to choose between either "rescuing" Oliver or helping Fagin with his financial problems, Francis resorts to speaking in Shakespearean English, which annoys Tito, who demands that the former speak normal English instead. After Tito calls him "Frankie" again, Francis once again corrects him three times before losing his patience and aiming to quarrel with the latter until luckily, Dodger intervenes to break up their dispute, leaving Tito to momentarily blow a raspberry at Francis before turning his head the other way to play the innocent and avoid any possible reprimands from Dodger when the former glares at him. Then, Dodger suggests that first, they'll "rescue" their little cat friend and then, they'll take care of the "old man", to which Tito agrees to when he refers to Oliver as "family" and "blood". Then, Tito and the others gather around to listen to Dodger's plan for the following day.

The next morning, Dodger leads the "rescue mission". When they notice Winston pounding on something with a rolling pin in the kitchen at the window, Tito gets the silly impression that he's torturing Oliver and Francis suggests handling the "ruffian" himself. After Einstein and mainly, Francis distract Winston again and leave him locked outside while the dogs enter the mansion inconspicuously, Tito and the others begin to admire the place rather than focusing on "rescuing" Oliver until Dodger reminds them about their true objective.

After Dodger enters and meets Georgette, the family's spoiled pedigree pet poodle and dog show queen, in her room and is given an uninteresting introduction about herself, the rest of the gang enters as Tito begins to develop a sudden crush on the poodle; much to her disgust. Oddly, Tito takes no offense to Georgette's uproars and insults after kissing her paw and introducing himself by his full name: Ignacio Alonzo Julio Frederico de Tito, leaving him completely more enamored than before after that. After the gang inadvertently causes a mess in her room, Georgette begins to call and bark for Winston countless times, who managed to sneak back inside through an open window in the kitchen. However, when Georgette learns that Dodger and the others are in fact, the friends Oliver keeps talking about who have come to "rescue" him, she becomes more cooperative. But before cooperating, Winston comes in to check up on Georgette. Einstein and Francis hide under Georgette's bed cover with half of Georgette's body sticking out while Dodger and Rita pose as dog statue replicas and Tito hangs on a coat hanger of the door. Though puzzled, Winston leaves nonetheless. Then, Georgette takes the gang to Jenny's room. Noticing Oliver happily sleeping on his pillow, Rita, being the first one convinced that he's okay, proposes they forget the plan, but Georgette, jealous and eager to get rid of him since the day he came into Jenny's life, convinces them that he's so "traumatized" and when Winston's voice is heard again, she quickly hands him to them in a pillow sack held by Einstein and Francis and allows them to flee through the fire escape. Before leaving, Tito tries flirting with Georgette with a good-bye kiss, only to get slapped in response and fall down the fire escape; foolishly thinking she "likes" him as he continues singing some lovesick nonsense on their way back home.

Back at the barge, the gang brings Oliver in as Tito admires the way Francis handled Winston earlier during their "rescue mission" and Dodger humorously reminisces over Tito’s "relationship" with Georgette. Noticing a lost and confused expression on Oliver's face and in his voice, Rita wonders if he’s okay as Tito backs her up by simply stating that Oliver is just glad to be back with his "Uncle Tito" and kissing him but then, the gang appears more confused when Oliver demands to know why they took him away. When Einstein tells him that they simply "rescued" and brought him back home, the gang learns that Oliver actually wanted to stay now that he's happy living in a new home with someone who loves him. Nevertheless, despite an unpleasant conversation between a devastated Oliver and an upset but otherwise, stubborn Dodger, Dodger grudgingly allows Oliver to leave without anyone stopping him. Realizing how upset Dodger really is, Tito tries to calm him down, only to be scolded at by the latter as he unfairly states that if Oliver doesn't like living with them anymore, then, he can just go. Looking at each other with great sadness and sorrow, Tito and the rest of the gang watch as Oliver leaves until a depressed Fagin returns and brings Oliver back inside. The gang watches as Fagin is about to lose faith and hope after how his previous attempts to earn or steal money have failed until he suddenly rejoices when he notices the address inscribed on Oliver’s collar that reads: "5th Avenue", meaning that where he currently comes from, his new owners must be rich, therefore, inspiring Fagin to come up with a plan to hold Oliver for ransom while writing a ransom note to his owners, which just might help him pay his debt to Sykes at last.

Later, at night, after Fagin's unpleasant meeting with Sykes at his warehouse leading to Dodger getting slightly injured from a previous attack by the Dobermans as a slightly unexpected result, Tito and the others wait at the rendezvous spot between Fagin and Oliver's new owner before Dodger joins them. When Jenny and Georgette finally make it to the rendezvous without even knowing it and meet Fagin, Tito doesn't hesitate as he begins flirting with Georgette again; much to her disgust. Oblivious to the fact that Sykes and his dogs are watching them from a distance in his car, when Fagin learns that Jenny is in fact, Oliver's new owner but with very little money in a piggy bank she brought as payment to get Oliver back, Jenny begins to cry and Fagin has a hard time deciding whether to give up the ransom and follow his good heart or not while feeling guilty as he watches Jenny and Georgette leave with great sadness in their eyes.

Finally, Fagin does the right thing, pretends to find Oliver in a box, and returns him to Jenny; much to both his and the latter's joy. Unfortunately, their happiness is cut-short when Sykes, having seen the whole thing, drives straight towards Jenny to make his move, kidnaps her, and throws Oliver out the window. Before driving away, Sykes tells Fagin to keep his mouth shut and to consider their account closed. Appalled to see their little friend injured, Dodger and the gang including Georgette rush to Oliver's aid and at the same time, generously promise to "absitively" help him get Jenny back as well. Without further hesitation and without riding in Fagin's scooter this time despite the latter's orders, Oliver and the dogs dash straight to Sykes’ warehouse.

At the warehouse, after Tito and Francis have finished inspecting the place to see if they can find a way in, they inform Dodger that it's all locked up. So, Dodger comes up with another plan on how to get inside. The plan is set with Tito as the "maestro" and Francis and Oliver (in a football helmet) as the "cannonballs". Then, Tito and the others call out to Francis to see if he’s ready, which he is before launching Oliver on a made-up seesaw and through a window, which somehow alerts Sykes who sends his dogs to investigate. Once Oliver's inside and after avoiding detection from Roscoe and DeSoto, he opens a hatch from the inside. However, Tito insists Georgette goes first; a trait which begins to please Georgette when she sees how one of the gang members has some manners. Francis appears slightly annoyed after Tito refers to Georgette as his "little croissant". Later, while sneaking inside in silence, Georgette suddenly screams in pain after breaking a nail, which somehow alerts Roscoe and DeSoto more than ever. When Francis puts down her moan, Tito stands up for her while angrily confronting Francis until everyone is detected by a security camera facing their direction. Dodger asks Tito to take care of this minor problem, which the latter does even though it means undergoing electrocution again by biting off the camera's wires.

After taking care of the camera, Oliver and the dogs proceed until they reach somewhere above Sykes' office where they find Jenny tied up to a chair but otherwise, okay while Sykes is on the phone with Winston, demanding him to get in touch with Jenny's parents in order to ask about a ransom concerning their daughter since they are away on a business trip around Europe. Then, Dodger comes up with another plan on how to distract Sykes and rescue Jenny at the same time. The plan is set with Tito, Francis, and Einstein posing as a pizza delivery guy to lure Sykes away from his office while the others sneak in to help Jenny. Tito, Francis, and Einstein run until they unfortunately come face-to-face with Roscoe and DeSoto. Luckily, when all seems lost, Georgette suddenly appears and manages to temporarily trap the Dobermans under a tarpaulin net, thus, enabling Tito, who cheers for Georgette's efforts, and the others to safely return and reunite with the rest of the friends back at Sykes' office to save Jenny before locking the door behind them.

When chewing the ropes off of Jenny proves futile and their enemies are about to return, Dodger, noticing a crane at the top that could help them out, asks Tito to hot-wire it but the latter refuses due to having had enough of being barbecued too many times until Georgette, having grown fond of the latter and using her charm, convinces him otherwise. Confident, Tito quickly proceeds to make it up to the top where the crane's controls are located while singing a few notes from "Heigh-Ho" in order to operate and send the crane down just as Sykes and his dogs return to find the door locked. Luckily, Tito manages to operate the crane to send it down then back up again while carrying the rest of the company up to safety just in time before Sykes and his dogs break through the locked door. All goes well as they are being carried away in another direction by the crane until Sykes takes out a fire axe and destroys the crane's controls, which electrocutes Tito again and causes everyone else to fall and land on a long slide, only to find themselves cornered by their enemies at the end of the slide unfortunately.

Luckily, when all hope seems lost as Sykes is about to snap his fingers so as to order his dogs to attack again, Fagin arrives in his scooter breaking through a window just in time to save and drive everyone out to safety. As Roscoe and DeSoto give chase, Tito begins gloating and insulting them until he gasps in shock when he sees Sykes catching up to them in his car. Thinking Sykes won't bother following them any further, Fagin drives everyone down into a subway station but Sykes, driving like a madman, pursues them nonetheless. Once they drive into a tunnel with Sykes still in hot pursuit, Tito and the other dogs are heard barking fiercely at their enemies until Sykes' car collides with Fagin's scooter, causing Jenny to fall and land on the hood of his car. Tito and the others watch as Oliver jumps in to save Jenny by biting Sykes' hand when the latter tries to pull Jenny back in, only to end up thrown in the backseat and cornered by Roscoe and DeSoto. Then, they watch Dodger jump in to rescue Oliver by fighting off and allowing Roscoe to fall to his death on the electric railway caused by the friction between Sykes' ruined car tires and the railway itself before Oliver comes to Dodger's rescue by scratching and allowing DeSoto to also fall to his death in the same manner when the latter tries to kill Dodger in vain as payback for Roscoe’s death. Then, Dodger saves Oliver again just in time before meeting the same fate as well.

On the Brooklyn Bridge, while Fagin comes to Jenny's aid with Einstein to help make sure he doesn't fall as the latter calls for help, Tito takes command of the scooter. Suddenly, a train is heard and seen heading their way, causing Georgette to panic as she holds a tight grip on Tito momentarily. When it looks like Sykes has got the upper hand by grabbing Jenny's leg and pulling her back in, Oliver and Dodger arrive just in time to save her by jumping on and fighting Sykes off, thus, enabling Jenny to jump back into Fagin's scooter. Luckily, Tito manages to save everyone at the last minute by driving them up to safety on one of the bridge's cables while Oliver and Dodger stay behind to fight Sykes off. After Sykes throws Dodger and Oliver off, the train approaches and finally collides with Sykes still in his car, thus, killing him and sending both him and his car down the Hudson River. Then, Tito drives everyone safely back down before Jenny runs out to search for Oliver, only to find a sad Dodger approaching with a supposedly lifeless Oliver in his mouth. At first, everyone thinks he's dead but when Jenny hears a soft meow coming out of Oliver, everyone minus Georgette, still in shock from the chase, quickly rejoices when they see that their little cat friend is still alive. Then, Tito and the others begin to befriend Jenny.

The next day, back at Jenny's house, while everyone including Fagin and his dogs is celebrating Jenny's 8th birthday, Tito is in the next room teaching some of his dance moves to Georgette with a little help from his favorite Latin music again; much to the annoyance of Francis. Once the gang has given Jenny birthday presents (garbage actually), to which she is kindly grateful to, it’s time for them to go home as Jenny and Fagin bid each other a touching good-bye. While most of the gang leaves, Georgette invites Tito for a "private" moment, which he gladly accepts; thinking this his moment to profess his love for her. However, after Tito has been given a bath, groomed, and dressed in a sailor suit by Georgette, he quickly changes his mind about staying, runs away from the place in fear, and hides behind Dodger as Georgette calls out for him amorously then demandingly from her balcony, which he is definitely unlikely to do as he quickly bids Oliver good-bye and runs further away to catch up with his friends.

Then, as Tito rides on top of a police car, he joins up with the rest of his friends as they sing a reprise of "Why Should I Worry" altogether while jumping from car/truck to car/truck before joining up with Fagin in his scooter on their way home.

### *House of Mouse*

Tito has made a few guest appearances in *House of Mouse*. He can be seen along with some of the dog-gang members and Oliver in the intro. In the episode "Pluto Saves the Day", Tito appears with the Pet Shop Dogs band singing "Everybody Wants to Be a Woof": composed of Jock, Napoleon, Lafayette, Francis, DeSoto, and some Dalmatian puppies with Dodger as their leader. However, in this episode, he is seen with some silly modifications (ex: he has both ears bitten instead of one, earrings, yellow eyes, and a squeaky bark). Also, while singing in the band with a growl at DeSoto, Tito gets scared off like a fraidy cat as soon as DeSoto replies to him with a growl in return, instead of being brave and not afraid of the Dobermans. Later, he and the band fight off Pete (who's disguised as Snow White) and then chase him out along with Pluto.

## Disney Parks

In the years following the movie's release, Tito made numerous appearances at the parks.

## Trivia

* In Sykes' warehouse, when Georgette persuades Tito to work the crane that saves Jenny and the gang, he sings, "*Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off to work we go...*"; a clear reference to the song in *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*.
* After getting slapped by Georgette, Tito sings: "I could have danced all night."; a reference to the song from *My Fair Lady*.
* Unlike most members of the gang, Tito and Dodger are the only ones each seen wearing a piece of cloth on their persons to show that they are domestic pets. However, both Tito and Rita are the only ones in the gang seen with more hair on their heads though.
* In a *House of Mouse* episode, Tito has both ears bitten instead of one, small earrings, yellow eyes, and a squeaky bark. Also, while singing in the band with a growl at DeSoto, Tito becomes scared like a fraidy cat as soon as DeSoto replies to him with a growl in return, instead of being brave and not afraid of the Dobermans.
* When Tito and the gang first see what is revealed moments later to be Oliver stuck under a cloth, Oliver tears through it with one of his claws. Tito immediately freaks out and calls it an "alien." This may be a reference to the 1979 science-fiction horror classic, *Alien*, in which upon its birth, the Alien bursts out of the chest of its host (played by John Hurt).
* Tito's voice actor Cheech Marin has also done the voice of Banzai from *The Lion King*.
* It is possible that Tito was named either after the founder of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito or Michael Jackson's brother, Tito Jackson.
* Tito was based on Charley Bates from *Oliver Twist*, the Dickens novel that inspired the animated film.
* Out of all the dogs, Tito has the most speaking lines in the movie.
* Tito's bitten ear swaps sides when he is introducing himself to Georgette.
