Dame, Peg, Bull, and Chance are supporting characters in the 2019 live-action remake of Lady and the Tramp. They are a group of impounded dogs that Lady encounters after being wrongfully taken by the city's dogcatcher.
Dame (voiced by Jentel Hawkins) is a Terrier mix, and appears as the ringleader of the pound dogs. She appears to be knowledgeable about the social life of local dogs, specifically in terms of Tramp. When first meeting Lady, Dame and Bull take part in a round of jokes in reference to the obviously lavished lifestyle that Lady leads. When Peg intervenes out of annoyance, she notes that Dame and Bull mean no real harm.
Chance (voiced by James Bentley) is a tall, slender, gray Russian Wolfhound a.k.a. a Borzoi. He appears older and wiser than the other dogs, and like Peg, gives Lady comfort and advice in the pound. He is more romantic and sentimental about love than his friends, and believes Tramp will find true love one day. Peg describes him as a philosopher, and he does take a more thoughtful, reflective view to life in the pound than his friends. He likes to quote famous Russian authors such as Maxim Gorky to make his points, and is quite friendly and peaceful.
Role in the film[]
Tramp approaches Peg and Bull who are caged in a carriage leading to the dog pound while a dogcatcher named "Elliot" places a warning sign on the wall giving a warning to people that any unlicensed dog will be immediately impounded. Bull recaps that he robbed a butcher ship to get seven pounds of beef, four lamb chops, and a whole meatloaf as Peg remembers what he did. Tramp warns them that they will always get caught if they don't learn to split up just as they prompt him to free them which Tramp warns them that Elliot might see him just as the dogcatcher suddenly approaches him while Tramp pretends to be sick, tricking him while accidentally opening the carriage, causing Bull and Peg to escape which Tramp escapes from Elliot to avoid getting caught and sent to the dog pound.
When Lady gets sent to the dog pound after Elliot caught her, she passes by various dogs in their cages, just as Elliot puts in Lady a cage. She then encounters Peg who greets her, alongside Bull and several other dogs inside. One of the dogs asks Lady of how she ended up getting caged, which Lady recaps that she was with Tramp and ran into trouble and got split up. Peg then recognizes the same dog Lady met just as she sings the musical number "He's a Tramp" entertaining the other dogs while remembering about her encounter with Tramp. After singing, the pound dogs witness Elliot entering the pound and taking a dog named Nutsy home, followed by Lady being the next one to be returned to her owners.
Later, Peg and Bull approach Tramp which he asks them why they are wearing collars as it is revealed that Peg and Bull were adopted just as the two receive a home for snack. Tramp curiously asks them of how they were adopted questioning them of why dogs live with people, which Peg recaps that his answers have nothing to do with Lady whom they met at the dog pound and as Tramp realizes of what they were saying just before Peg tells Bull that Tramp is free to be himself. Tramp then recaps that Lady reunited to her family just as Tramp tries to get reunite with her. Tramp then takes a bone which belongs to Bull and Peg in a plan to reunite with Lady, much to Bull feeling worried. Bull and Peg do not make further appearances afterwards; additionally, what became of the other dogs Lady encountered in the pound is also unknown.
