I have always loved that cartoon, but had no idea it was based on a book until my husband mentioned it. We initially were arguing over what Pongo's wife's name was (we have the best arguments). I insisted it was Perdita and he insisted that it was Missis (as in Mrs. Pongo). We were both right because in the book, they adopt Perdita as a wet nurse for Missis' 15 puppies.
