Fergus Fox is an Irish fox and a recurring character on 101 Dalmatian Street. He is good friends with Dolly and Dylan and is commonly seen with fellow Canal Crew members Big Fee and Sid.
Character origins[]
Fergus appears in concept art for the 101 Dalmatian Street pilot, though no footage of his appearance has been shown. He has a similar appearance to his final design, albeit with brighter red fur. In his final design, he is given more natural red-orange fur, spots over his eyes, a brown and white tail, and gold fangs.
Background[]
Fergus is the trouble-making leader of the Canal Crew, with Big Fee and Sid being members. He is also friends with Dolly and Dylan, the latter of which he nicknames "D-Dog" or "Dyl." Like most vermin, Fergus sometimes digs in garbage for food, as seen in "Ride Along."
Fergus makes his debut in "Boom Night," where he serves as a temptation for Dolly to leave the Dalmatian house just before Boom Night starts. He later makes Dylan a temporary member of the Canal Crew in "Walkies on the Wild Side," teaching him how to be wild. In "Fox in the Dog House," after suffering a paw injury, Fergus stays in the Dalmatian house until his paw heals, though he later fakes his injury after being fully healed. In "The Longest Night," Fergus spends the night outdoors with Hansel, Dylan, Dawkins, and Diesel. The episode "Puppy Dreams" implies that Fergus sometimes sneaks into Dylan's treehouse to sleep. In "The De Vil Wears Puppies," Fergus, Big Fee, and Sid see the dalmatians being dognapped and, without hesitating, go to rescue them. Later in the episode, he plays dead in order to trick Cruella De Vil. Fergus also appears in the Gigglebug Guarantee short, "Jurassic Pups."

Notes[]
- Despite not being a dog, Fergus has various dog-like traits. For example, he used the World Wide Woof in "Walkies on the Wild Side," and he howled with Hansel in "The Longest Night." This is possibly due to the fact that foxes are of distant relation to the domestic dog, as both are part of the Canidae order of biological classification.
