History Heartwarming / LadyAndTheTramp

* While Trusty getting hit by the wagon was a TearJerker, imaging how happy the audience must have felt when the old boy came limping up the steps to visit Lady and Tramp on Christmas.

** [[https://youtu.be/Wv-LA28K84g And again when Jim and Darling are leaving for a trip]], Lady is at first by the baby’s crib, wagging her tail and admiring the baby. Then as the pair leave, Lady runs ahead to stop them. As Darling points out, Lady thought they were running out on the baby (though to be fair their choice of words didn’t help matters.) She even gives them a glare as if to say “how can you two just up and leave this little human here all alone? For shame.”

* Once Jock and Trusty learn about Tramp's innocence, they rush to save him despite their previous hostility towards him.

** Lady and Tramp waking up together the following morning. Tramp wakes first, notices Lady is still right beside him, smiles, and noses up close to her before closing his eyes for more sleep. It's blatantly postcoital and ridiculously cute.

* After Aunt Sarah traps Lady in the basement and tries to convince Jim Dear and Darling that Lady intended to hurt their infant son, rather than be mad at Lady, they assure Sarah it must be a mistake because they're confident in Lady and know she would never hurt him.

* Another small one, this time concerning Si and Am, strangely. When you really listen to the lyrics of their song, they speak of doing some rather troublesome things, yes... But lines such as "There'll be a head for you and a tail for me" (the fish in the bowl), or "There'll be plenty of milk for you and maybe some for me" (the baby's milk), you realize that the one speaking the line is stating that they'll be sure their sibling gets the better deal of their "prize".

** And again when Jim and Darling are leaving for a trip, Lady runs ahead of them as if to stop them. As Darling points out, Lady thought they were just gonna up and leave the baby. Heartwarming when a dog is that concerned for one of its masters. She even gives them a DeathGlare like “you two aren’t gonna leave this little angel alone.”

* Lady's first night, Jim Dear and Darling try to establish boundaries and make her sleep in the kitchen, but when she eventually gets loose and shows up by their bedside crying, they give in and let her sleep on the bed..."But remember, just for tonight." AgeCut to Lady at six months old, sleeping in the same spot. Viewers who spoil the hell out of their dogs know exactly how a pair of puppy-dog eyes can break down your resistance.

--> '''Aunt Sarah:''' Thank goodness you're not hurt.

* For all that the dogcatcher is by default the villain of the story, he's not a bad guy. He's very gentle with Lady, and while the audience bristles at the borderline-cruel way he talks about how eager he is to euthanize Tramp, you have to remember--''he thinks Tramp is dangerous''. He has every reason to believe that this is a stray dog that routinely bites/attacks people; think of how often Tramp's bitten him during his rounds. He's never cruel to the dogs he takes in, even talking to them like they're people. He's just doing his job, and the way he scratches Lady's ears and tells her about how her family's here to pick her up is very [[EstablishingCharacterMoment sweet]].

* After Aunt Sarah traps Lady in the kitchen and tries to convince Jim Dear and Darling that Lady intended to hurt their infant son, rather than be mad at Lady, they assure Sarah it must be a mistake because they're confident in Lady and that would never hurt him.

* After Aunt Sarah traps Lady in the kitchen and tries to convince Jim Dear and Darling that Lady intended to hurt their infant son, rather than be mad at Lady, they know something must have happened because they know Lady would never do something like that. They love their dog and know she's well behaved.
** When she breaks free, Aunt Sarah again is afraid of Lady but Jim Dear and Darling know something is wrong and follow her to the baby's room.

** Jim Dear and Darling end the lullaby to their son with a sweet pet to Lady. They know they've bene neglecting her due to getting ready for the baby and want her to know that they still love her just the same.

* After Aunt Sarah traps Lady in the kitchen and tries to convince Jim Dear and Darling that Lady intended to hurt their infant son, they don't believe her because they're confident Lady would never do something like that.

** Jim Dear and Darling helping Lady get a closer look at the new baby and tenderly petting her as he falls asleep is just the reassurance Lady, and the audience, needs to know that she is still a member of the family.

When she breaks free, Aunt Sarah again is afraid of Lady but Jim Dear and Darling know something is wrong and follow her to the baby's room.

** Just before that the very cute scene where Tramp paws on the door. Tony comes out to greet him, laughs when Tramp jumps on him and starts licking him and calls Joe to get him some bones before "he eats me up."

** Also, after her and Tramp are out on the town, when they wake up, Tramp tries to convince her that life without owners means complete freedom, Lady says "It sounds wonderful... but who would watch over the baby?" Tramp gives her a sad look, but says "You win. Come on, I'll take you home," showing that even though he loves his freedom, he can't bring himself to come between Lady and her family.

* The fact that Tony and Joe have befriended a random stray dog to the point where they happily feed him and his date. Not to mention Tony's iconic insistance that Tramp "talks to him".
