101 Dalmations is a story about two London dalmatian dogs, Pongo and Perdita, and their owners, who are kidnapped by the evil Cruella De Vil. Cruella wants to use the dalmatian puppies' fur to make coats, and when Pongo and Perdita have a litter of 15, she hires thugs to steal them. Pongo leads a group of animal friends on a cross-country rescue mission to save the puppies. In the end, Pongo and his friends rescue 101 dalmatians in total, including 84 that Cruella had bought from pet stores.
