How much time passes?


I was watching this with my son tonight and I began to wonder how long it takes for the puppies to return home. The way the movie is shot makes it seem like the rescue only takes a night. However there are a couple of little things that made me question just how long the rescue really took.

At the end of the movie, right before the dogs come back, the Nannie makes a comment about how she feels like she can still hear the dogs barking at night, which makes it seem like the dogs have been gone for much longer than a couple of days. Also, Roger's song about Cruella is now a radio hit and they mention using their country home to raise all the new puppies. At what point while the dogs were gone did they become rich enough to purchase a second home in the country??

2 dog weeks, but remember dog time is faster than human time.

I don't they had the Dalmatian Plantation yet, but they can now get one because of Rogers hit song. And about two or three days, I bet.

Rod Taylor RIP. May you finally get that Dalmatian Plantation in the sky. Macho Man 2015 WWE HOF.

The newspaper is dated Sunday, November 2, 1958. So it seems they were taken on Halloween, Friday night. Pongo and Perdy depart a few days later. It's just before Christmas when they return, so I would guess around 6 weeks.
