Role in the film[]
Lady encounters Trusty telling him that the rat came back to cause a mess across her owners' house and just as Lady impatiently tells her about the rat she found outside, Trusty tells Lady to be patient. As Lady asks him to know where Jock is at, Trusty tells him that she is busy with her owner painting a portrait of her. Just as Jock arrives next to Trusty and Lady, the latter replies to the two that she is officially part of Jim Dear and Darling's family just before Trusty plans to find the rat to stop him from causing extra messes. The next day, Lady tries to talk to Trusty only to find Tramp in his place instead. Later after Jim Dear goes into a conversation with the dogcatcher Elliot, Trusty approaches Lady, telling her and Jock to be careful with Tramp, mistaking him for an intruder which Trusty and Jock are unsure of what Lady would do when a baby arrives in their house.
The next day when Jim and Darling receive a baby, welcoming her to the family, Lady approaches Trusty being kindly fed by his owner Pete, followed by Lady staring at Jock's owner taking pictures of her dog. When Lady reunites with her owners, Trusty engages in a conversation with Lady, alongside Jock while Lady tells them that her owners now have a baby. Trusty tells Lady that she has spent her life staying away from Tramp, which Lady clarifies that not all street dogs are bad, telling him of what Tramp did which Trusty tells her that she made it back home, even with her encounter with him. After Jock returns to her owner, Trusty praises her, happy that she is back home. After learning of Tramp who was captured by Elliot, Trusty sadly reacts to Tramp who was taken away, alongside Jock. After Lady finds the rat that Tramp killed, she warns Trusty to know where Tramp went, which he replies to her that the dogcatcher took him to the dog pound, followed by Jock who appears next to Lady about the commotion she heard earlier. Furthermore, Trusty and Jock follow Lady in a plan to stop the carriage leading to the dog pound. Trusty, Jock, and Lady suddenly arrive at the a junction in a plan to rescue Tramp as Jock encourages Trusty to use his senses to help find the carriage leading to the dog pound, which he suddenly finds it, leading Trusty, Jock, and Lady to chase after the carriage. As they chase after the carriage, Trusty and Jock could not catch up with Lady faster; however, Lady causes the horses pulling the carriage leading to the dog pound to react in fear, successfully rescuing Tramp just as Elliot escapes, followed by Tramp's bad reputation being cleared.
During Christmas, Trusty approaches Jock who wears an elf hat where she recaps of what Lady said, saying that their world is bigger now while telling a story to two puppies about a story of Ol' Reliable.
