Delilah is a character from 101 Dalmatian Street. She is a British Dalmatian who is a descendant of Pongo and Perdita. She is married to an American Dalmatian called Doug. The two also have a large litter of puppies from previous marriages which, when combine together, make a total of 99.
Background
In some early concepts, Delilah was planned to have an appearance almst identicl to Perdita. Whether or not she was planned to be Perdita, before being altred, is not knwn at this time. The Concept Art also shows, that she would have worn a Fob Watch on her collar, rather than the tag she has in the Show.
Role in the series
Delilah is a regular in the show. While she works as a nursing dog at a London hospital, her eldest pups, stepdaughter Dolly and son Dylan, watch over their miscellaneous younger siblings. She appears to be the more level-headed one out of her and Doug, knowing how to easily handle having such a large litter of pups, likely due to coming from Pongo and Perdita's side of the family. When she sees a swarm of pups coming her way, she knows how to dodge the wave so she does not get completely trampled.
In the episode "Dog's Best Friend", she is first seen having just woken up and wishes luck to Dolly and Dylan with their housework before heading to work herself.
In "Boom Night", she helps fit earmuffs on to the other pups during the titular event to protect her children from the disruptive sounds before she and Doug head to their respective jobs. Delilah informs Dolly that it is the busiest night of the year for her and Doug and will leave the safety of her children in her eldest's paws.
Notes
- In "Girl's Day Out", it is revealed that Delilah has an allergy to orchids.
- According to Lucy Pryke (Creative Executive of The Walt Disney Company), Delilah is able to make a diagnosis just by smelling.
