Tear Jerker / 101 Dalmatians: The Series

• Lucky and Rebecca's parting at the end of "De Vil-Age Elder".
• Watching Rolly get bullied by his friends in the beginning of "Roll Out The Pork Barrel" and Spot get bullied by Lt. Pug in "Full Metal Pullet" easily qualify for this, especially if you've been bullied in real life. The latter gets a pretty big What the Hell, Hero? speech from Cadpig to Lucky.
• In the Yet Another Christmas Carol episode, we learn that Cruella's parents left her in the care of nannies to go on vacations, and they were absent at Christmastime. Young Cruella hoped they would send her a puppy for Christmas, and when they didn't, she'd take her frustration out on others..
  • The biggest gut-punch happens in the final "Past" segment with a bitter adult Cruella returning home one Christmas and sees the silhouettes of her parents in the house window and she starts to tear up thinking that they were finally home to spend Christmas as a family with her. Only for her to rush inside and see that it was actually a pair of cardboard cutouts in their likeness that had a voice recorded messages from them instead where they don't even call her by her name or even give her the courtesy of seeing her as their own child by instead referring to Cruella as little more than a "Tax Exemption".
• Lucky actually breaking down in sobs in "Lucky To Be Alone" after his rich relatives refuse to watch Thunderbolt with him.
• Mooch's treatment in "My Fair Moochie" shoves him straight into Jerkass Woobie territory. He tries so hard to make a genuine change from Jerkass to Nice Guy that his heartbroken reaction to Cadpig dumping him makes you feel bad for the poor guy.
• The scene in "Cadpig Behind Bars" where Cadpig, who ended up at the pound after chasing a dog catcher's truck, tries to get through to Bon-Bon, an older, overweight poodle who dislikes her. Bon-Bon tearfully admits to Cadpig that her bad attitude comes from how nobody wants to adopt her and would prefer younger and cuter dogs, and Cadpig now being her roommate just reminded her of how miserable she was. This is especially Truth in Television in many dog shelters and it gets another layer as Bon-Bon's weight implies health issues, thus further lowering her chances of being adopted.
