Persian Pete

Persian Pete is a minor, one-episode villain who appeared in "Howl Noon" in 101 Dalmatians: The Series. He is voiced by Jim Cummings.

Role in the series
He was once the neighborhood bully to Lieutenant Pug, using his size to take advantage of the pup. He once strapped Pug to an RC car that he crashed (over and over again), and wrapped him up to a fish and toss him in an alleyway filled with cats after he offered to take Pug "out for a bite." It was like that every day for Pug, right before his family moved away. The future lieutenant took advantage of the move to pay Persian Pete pack by dumping a can of roofing tar on him. Sadly, years later, Perisan Pete found out where Pug was - on the Dearly's Dalmatian farm - and sent out a message for revenge.

He doesn't appear until around the end of the episode. The rest of the episode was about Pug in hiding, and the Bark Brigade cadets were trying to help him get over his fears to get ready for him. Cadpig managed to handcuff herself to Pug and hypnotize him into his past lives to be brave. And even though the pups and Pug were small, compared to other animals, Persian Pete was a BIG cat - almost as tall as the fencing around the farm! He is also strong, as he was able to rip-off the stump cover to Pug's bunker.

Pete's last act of cruelty to Pug was ripping off the ear of Private Bunny, Pug's pink plush bunny doll. This made Pug mad enough to face Persian Pete, but before the giant cat could lay a claw on Pug, the lieutenant used Cadpig (who was still handcuffed to Pug because he bought the cuffs but couldn't afford the key to unlock them) as a pendulum to hypnotize Pete into a coward who ran off after Pug gave out a mild "woof."
