Penny (Dalmatian)

Penny was one of the original fifteen puppies in One Hundred and One Dalmatians .

Role in the film
Penny first appears watching TV with the other puppies, and appears to be the closest to her dad, Pongo. Along with her siblings, she is kidnapped by Horace and Jasper for Cruella to make them into a fur coat. With the help of Sgt. Tibs and her parents, she escapes and returns home.

Role in the series
Penny was going to be one of the major pups in the series, alongside Lucky, Cadpig, Rolly, Spot, and Patch. Her original characterization was that she was going to be a bit on the bossy side as well. Disney thought there were too many main characters in the series, so Patch became an extra, while Penny was written out of the show. A preview for the series (as well as for Recess) which was shown on the 1997 tape of 101 Dalmatians has a clip of one of the artists drawing a female puppy who never appeared in the final product, who is speculated to be Penny.
