Puppy in a red dog house (#9)

This puppy figure from the 1996 McDonald's 101 Dalmatians Happy Meal set sits in a red dog house with a green roof. Most seller listings place this puppy at number 9 in the set.

Distribution was blind: a single generic polybag design, printed in English, French and Spanish, covered all 101 figures with no printed number or name. Collectors only learned which puppy they'd gotten after opening it. No McDonald's or Disney document ever numbered these figures; the 1-101 sequence is purely a collector's shorthand.

The dog house appears in this position on McDonald's official promotional poster for the set.

How to identify it

White puppy with black spots

Distinguished by its prop or pose: seated in a red dog house

The number is an unofficial collector-convention number, not a McDonald's or Disney designation: no numbering appears on the toy, the polybag, the collector case, the certificate or the official poster. This puppy has no official name. Corroboration for this entry: object clearly visible on the official McDonald's poster.
