A book I liked when I was little

This book is about the Dalmatian, Bongo, who is the dog of composer Roger, who lives in the flats of London. One day, Bongo, who was bored, is looking out the windown when he falls in love with a female dog called Padida and her owner, Anita. Bongo invites Roger for a walk and chases Padidas at first glance. As Bongo and Padidas run around them, Roger and Anita wind up on the lead and fall into the fountain. From this incident, they fall in love and get married. He has 15 puppies, but Anita’s acquaintance, the fur fetish Cruella, kidnaps them. After some hard work, the two parent dogs find their 15 captured puppies in a secluded villa with 84 other puppies. With a total of 101 animals, they desperately escaped from the mansion. Please read what will happen after that.

When I was little, the dogs drawn in the book was cute, so I picked it up and read it many times. What I like about the content is that Cruella’s subordinates are the type who use hard means, but it is interesting to see that they use various means such as hiding or intentionally getting dirty and changing the appearance.

This work has also been made into a movie, and I think it is a work that is loved by many people. It is a work that teaches not only the cuteness of animals but also important things such as family love. After reading this book, you will feel relaxed and happy.
