In-Depth Analysis
Dipstick is one of the more interesting of the Dearly pups: he made his debut in the 101 Dalmatians franchise in the live action remake of the 1961 classic and reappeared in the series. His role in 102 Dalmatians was very reminisent of Pongo's in the original, especially when it came to defending his kids from Le Pelt.
Behind the Posts
"As one of the Radcliff pups Dipstick proves to be interesting going from a goofy dimwitted but lovable pup to a caring father in the span of four years (least that's how I think the time line goes as far as the series and 102 are concerned)." (Naomi, March 2008)
Trivia
- He didn't appear in the original 1961 animated movie but did appear in the 1996 live action movie.
- His ear spots in the series might be a bit of a hint towards Fidget since Fidget had the same ear spots.
