Trivia

• Pongo, the canine protagonist of The Hundred and One Dalmatians, was named after Smith's own pet dalmatian, the first of nine. Smith got the idea for her novel when she was walking two dalmatians in the street, and she passed a woman who loudly remarked: “Those dogs would make a lovely fur coat!”
