101 Dalmatian Street Wiki
Advertisement

Deepak Dalmatian is a supporting character in 101 Dalmatian Street. He is one of Delilah and Doug's 99 puppies. Deepak is often perceived as a calm, rational puppy, only wanting peace between others. However, some situations have caused him to lose his composure, leading to outbursts of exasperation. In terms of physical appearance, these opposing character traits are indicated by the markings on his face that resemble the yin-yang symbol.

Development and design[]

The June 2016 draft of the series bible implies that Deepak would have had a short temper, yelling "Shut up!" to his siblings when exasperated.

Deepak makes a minor appearance in the pitch reel for 101 Dalmatian Street. Here, he is given a more youthful voice that more closely resembles that of the background puppies'.

Deepak's designs have remained consistent since his concept art. In concept art, he had his yin-yang markings on his face and opposite patterns on his ears. However, one concept shows him without the yin-yang markings. Some show him with a more circular head, possibly to more resemble a yin-yang.

In his final design, the right side of his face and his right ear are black, while the left side of his face and left ear are white. He is given bags under his eyes and a blue and red collar. His tail is bent, and his paws often face inward, both to show his anxious personality.

Deepak is a particularly hapless puppy who is prone to panicking in chaotic situations. To ease his nerves, he often meditates or performs yoga while uttering "Miaow-wow-wow-wow..." under his breath. A minor running gag in the series involves Deepak being the target of cartoon slapstick or general unluckiness.

Unlike his siblings, Deepak holds great respect for cats. He specifically cherishes the Great Guru Miaow, a statue of a Japanese lucky cat. "The Wow of Miaow" shows that Deepak partakes in yoga classes with Constantin, whom he views as a mentor figure.

Deepak makes his debut in "Boom Night," watching the fireworks with the rest of his siblings in the final scene. He had a supporting role in "Snow Day" and a larger role in "The Woof Factor." In the latter, Dylan and Dolly, who plan to impersonate Triple D for a photo shoot, choose Deepak to take the place of Déjà Vu.

Deepak's most significant role is in "The Wow of Miaow," in which he decides to stay with Constantin at 99 Dalmatian Street after his feelings are hurt by Dylan and the Dimitri Trio. The episode reveals that he calms his siblings whenever they are stressed, including getting Dorothy out of "the chews." He later returns to 101 Dalmatian Street after he learns how disastrous things are going without him.

Deepak appears in episodes later in the series, albeit with more minor roles. He also features in the Gigglebug Guarantee short, "Yoga Pups," where he meditates on Dolly's skateboard as she tries to get it back.
