Dalmatian (4.11)

This dalmatian leads Belle into the woods where she is captured by the Queens of Darkness in "Heroes and Villains".

Before the Curse
In the Enchanted Forest of the past, Rumplestiltskin is sat at his dinner table, and pulls the tray containing his tea cup towards him. Belle stands next to him, exclaiming she figured out why he collects so many magical items - he has a hole in his heart. "There's only one thing I'm missing from my life right now," Rumple replies, "clean clothes," and with the snap of his fingers, Belle is outside of the Dark Castle and out doing her master's laundry. "You're just upset because you know I'm right," Belle says to absolutely no one, adding that she is not talking to herself (even though she is) because she knows Rumple can and does listen to him. After hanging up a white sheet, Belle goes to pick up some more laundry from the basket, but stops when she hears the sound of a little dalmatian puppy. Belle greets the small animal, but it runs off into the woods. As she goes after it, she ends up losing track of where it is, asking out loud where it went. Suddenly, however, Belle is grabbed by a covered figure, who puts their hand over her mouth and drags her away.
