Pongo was a handsome Dalmatian. He owns Roger Radcliff, a nice young bachelor musician
who was gentle, obedient and unusually intelligent. In fact, Pongo thinks at times he is almost
canine. They live in a nice little house near regents Park in London, but it has become very
lonely for both of them.
My story begins in London, not so very long ago. Yet so much has happened
since then, that it seems like an eternity. At that time I lived with my pet in a
bachelor flat just off Regents Park. It was a beautiful spring day, a tedious time of
the year for bachelors. Oh
sorts. Ha-ha. No, no, I

s my pet, Roger. Roger Radcliff, a musician of

m the one with spots. My name

could see the old notion that

carefree

that

a bachelor

s Pongo. As far as I

s life was so glamorous and

was all nonsense. It was downright dull sighs It was plain to see that

my old pet needed someone. If it were left up to Roger, we d be bachelors

forever. He was married to his work, writing songs. Songs about romance
things, something he knew absolutely nothing about Roger
Pongo

he

of all

s playing piano Oh,

s intelligent enough as humans so. And I think you could say, Roger is a

rather handsome animal in his way. I could see no reason why my pet didn t
deserve an attractive mate, but al least I was determinated to do my best. Of
course, dogs are a pretty poor judge of human beauty, but I had a rough idea of
what to look for He s looking out from the window spotting the candidates We
see an Afghan Hmm! Unusual breed chuckles Very unusual. Hmm! Oh, surely
not. Well now, what have we here? Hmm. Well, a little too short coupled.
Nope! I say! Well, I do say! Now there s a fancy breed. Hmm. Perhaps a little
too fancy. Yes, much too fancy. Oh! Too old. Too young. It was a problem, a real
problem. Well, now that s a bit more like it! It s a Dalmatian The most
beautiful creature on four legs! Now if only the girl

Well! She s very lovely

too! It was almost too good to be true. I d never find another pair like that, not if

I looked for a hundred years. Ah, they re heading for the park. A perfect
meeting place

if I can only arrange it. Uh-oh, but Roger never stopped work

til after 5:00. That could be too late He changes the time and barks attracting
Roger

s attention .

Looking the clock After 5:00 already. Fancy that. All right Pongo, all right boy.
Roger Pongo s barking and yipping Pongo boy! Take it easy! What
Pongo boy, slow down.

s all the hurry?

I was afraid we d missed them. Perhaps they passed on by the park. Then
suddenly
Pongo

I spotted them. It was a perfect situation if I planned it right. I

couldn t depend on Roger. I knew what he d do. He d settle on the grass,

puff his pipe and that would be it. No, it was all up to me. Well as they pass,
Anita and Perdita take notice of them At first I had no particular plan just
anything to attract attention. You know stir things up a bit He takes off Roger s
hat .

Roger

Pongo, you silly old thing! C

mon! Let

s have it, boy. Pongo! yipping Pongo!

He leaves the hat on the bench where Anita

Pongo

s seated .

For a while it seemed to work. At least they had seen one another. Things were
going along first-rate. But for some strange reason they left!

Roger C

mon, you old renegade. We re going home.

Pongo But I wasn t giving up. I was determinated that somehow they just had to meet.
Roger Oh!
Anita Ohhh!
Roger I beg your pardon. Please, excuse me.
Anita I must say, what on earth!
Roger Oh dear!
Anita Oh really! Good heavens!
Roger Oooh!

Roger

Ahh! Ahh! Perdita tries to stop them and she breaks Anita s dress. The pair end
up toppling into a pond Oh, oh. Oh my new spring suit and my new hat!

Roger Oh, I say. Here, take mine it

Anita Oh! they laugh. For the very first time Perdita looks to Pongo
In a few weeks there was a double wedding for Pongo and Perdita, Roger and Anita, and the
dogs settled down to a life of pleasant domesticity with their happy pets.
Priest

Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour and keep her in sickness and in health;
and forsaking all others keep thee only unto her so long as ye both shall live?

Roger I will.
For the first six months or so we lived in a small house near the park, a modest
little place but just right for two couples who were just starting out. In the window
Pongo
we see Perdita and Pongo resting. She sighs happily Perdita, darling, are you all
right?
Perdita

chuckles Oh, of course, dear. After all, dogs were having puppies long before our
time.
He chuckles happily Oh, that

canine.
