What is the name of Cinderella's dog?

Cinderella’s dog is named Bruno in Disney’s 1950 animated Cinderella.

Bruno is portrayed as Cinderella’s friendly bloodhound and a loyal ally within the château. Although he is not as central to the story as the mice Jaq and Gus, Bruno helps the animals resist Lucifer, Lady Tremaine’s cat. His most memorable contribution comes during the Fairy Godmother’s transformation scene, when magic turns him into a footman for Cinderella’s carriage.

Viewers sometimes select Major, but Major is Cinderella’s horse, not her dog. Gus is one of Cinderella’s mouse friends, and Lucifer is the stepmother’s cat. Those names are all important animal characters in the same film, which makes this a frequent mix-up.

Bruno’s role also reflects the film’s broader emphasis on animal characters. The mice and birds help Cinderella with her chores and repair her dress, while Bruno provides comic support and protection. James MacDonald supplied Bruno’s voice, with Earl Keen providing additional vocal effects. The film was released by Walt Disney Productions in 1950 and was based on Charles Perrault’s Cinderella tale.
