Delilah Dalmatian is a supporting character in 101 Dalmatian Street. She is a British nurse dog and the biological mother of Dylan. She is the wife of Doug, the mother to 99 puppies, and Dolly's step-mother. She was later confirmed to be the great-great-granddaughter of Pongo and Perdita.
Development and design[]
Concept art for Delilah.
Delilah's appearance in the pitch reel.
Early concept art for Delilah shows her with a more angular appearance, a standard blue collar, and a circle-shaped tag. She later appears in the 101 Dalmatian Street pitch reel, now with a green collar and a rectangle tag.
In her final design, Delilah is given a longer, thinner neck and a blue collar with a teal rectangle tag.
Background[]
Delilah skates with Dolly in "Girls' Day Out."
Delilah and Doug smell the de Vil scent in "London, We Have a Problem."
Delilah is a warm, loving mother to her puppies and wife to Doug, though she is decisively the firmer parent while Doug is more playful and informal. Delilah works as a nurse dog for Doctor Dave, resulting in Delilah leaving for work very early in the morning and working long shifts. She places a great amount of trust and expectations in her oldest puppies Dylan and Dolly to take care of their younger siblings while she and Doug are away at their jobs.
Delilah is supportive and caring toward her husband, Doug. In "Snow Day," she and Doug team up to ready half of the pups for the snow. In "A Summer to Remember," Delilah and Doug try to find time alone during their vacation. In "Fetch" the couple celebrate their anniversary with a romantic date in the park. It is revealed in "Fetch" that Delilah and Doug's anniversary song is "We're Sending You Love."
Delilah also has loving and healthy relationships with her puppies. Although she is often busy at work, she still makes time for her children. This is evidenced in "Girls' Day Out," where she spends Mother's Day with Dolly. In "The Dog House," she unexpectedly leaves work and rushes back to 101 Dalmatian Street to protect her puppies from pest control.
Delilah can be uptight and firm, akin to her son Dylan. This is shown in "Snow Day," when she took charge of prepping the pups, and in "Girls' Day Out," where she snaps at Dolly for waking her up and upsetting her orchid allergies (not realizing Dolly had only been trying to give her a Mother's Day surprise).
