The Dalmatian Pups
- Lucky is the bravest and most adventurous of the 99 puppies. He is easy to spot because he has a unique horseshoe shape made of spots on his back.
- Cadpig is one of the smallest puppies in the litter. She is very smart and has long, floppy ears and a big head. Cadpig is known for her kind personality and is surprisingly strong for her size.
- Rolly is always thinking about food. His love for snacks sometimes gets him and his friends into funny trouble. Even so, Rolly is a very loyal and helpful brother. He has an amazing sense of smell that often saves the day.
Spot the Chicken
- Spot is a chicken who dreams of becoming a Dalmatian. She often tries to be the voice of reason for the group, but the puppies do not always listen. Spot can get scared easily and sometimes bounces off the walls when she is nervous. She is also a good dancer and is good at math. Plus, she can fly!
