Freckles is one of Pongo and Perdita's original fifteen puppies in the One Hundred and One Dalmatians franchise. Freckles was one of the original fifteen puppies in the movie. His name comes from the spots sprinkled around his nose, resembling freckles. He is shown to be playful and usually responsible for anything that's going to happen. Freckles is often noted to be the Dalmatian who sits on Pongo's head as he and his siblings are watching The Thunderbolt Adventure Hour. He sometimes asks his father what the characters are going to do. However, Pongo usually replies by telling him to wait and see. He then comments on a bullet that Dirty Dawson fires, missing Thunderbolt, and then leans onto Pongo's muzzle when all his brothers and sisters are barking, watching Thunderbolt wrestling with Dawson. Like his siblings, he was kidnapped by Jasper and Horace for Cruella to be made into a fur coat. He and the rest of the pups are then rescued, and when Pongo instructs the other Dalmatians to cover themselves in soot, Freckles is addressed by name by one of his siblings and comments how "[He] always wanted to get good and dirty!" He and the rest of the pups end up making it home before Cruella nabs them where Nanny dusts off the soot covering him and the rest of the siblings. Freckles and his family later move to a bigger plantation in the country so he and his family can roam freely.
