She was illiterate, could not count, and was unable to tell right from left. Missis, though also very loving, was a rather ditsy dog. In the novel, Perdita was kind, caring and protective over the puppies. Her liver spotted mate and the father of her puppies, Prince, later became the 101st Dalmatian. By the end of the first book, Perdita's litter was returned to her as part of the puppies Cruella had taken. Perdita was a very good mother who particularly loved to give the puppies baths. Her real name is actually Spotty, but she did not tell anyone this as she liked her new name more. The Dearlys named her Perdita from the feminine singular form of 'perditus,' which is the Latin word for 'lost.' It also means 'loss' in Italian. The Dearlys reassured her, saying she did a good job cleaning the Puppies. Unfortunately, some time later, Perdita's milk supply failed and she feared that the Dearlys would no longer want her. Dearly then took her in to be a wet nurse to the puppies that Missis could not feed. Dearly was driving home from a Dog Shelter. As she searched for them, she collapsed in the road where Mrs.

One day she woke up and found her Puppies missing, for the farmer had sold them to Cruella. Soon she gave birth to her litter, but the farmer didn't give her enough food to continue supporting them. The two arranged themselves to be wed, before their Humans pulled them apart. One day she found a family of Humans having a picnic and she met the love of her life Prince. She then belonged to a farmer who, though he took care of her, did not give her all the love she needed and just let her roam loose. She was born to a county house and whilst pretty, was less valuable due to her smaller spots and her tail which had a curl to it (although it straitened as she got older). In the Dodie Smith novel, Perdita was a stray liver-spotted Dalmatian who had lost her own litter of puppies. Like Pongo, Perdita shows to be a fierce fighter, as seen when she and Pongo battled Cruella's henchmen Horace and Jasper. Despite her well-coordinated nature, Perdita tends to be incredibly worrisome in hectic situations, but can be calmed by Pongo. Perdita is very well-mannered, elegant, and ladylike, a complete foil to Pongo's easygoing and carefree nature.
