This puppy figure from the 1996 McDonald's 101 Dalmatians Happy Meal set rides in a red bus. In the collector numbering most sellers use, it sits at number 52.
The 1996 promotion packaged every figure the same way: one generic trilingual polybag. It was printed in English, French and Spanish, and blank of any toy number or figure name. A buyer had no way to know which puppy was inside until it was opened. This number is a convenience collectors adopted for cataloging, with no McDonald's or Disney source behind it.
The red bus appears in this position on McDonald's official promotional poster.
Distinguished by its prop or pose: riding in a red bus
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.
