Differences From The Lady and The Tramp

 * In the second segment Vamp the Lady version, is blue unlike the movie where she is tannish. Also her collar is red instead of blue.
 * Vamp doesn't go to the pound unlike the puppies. Also in the movie Lady was in the pound wearing her license and wasn't going to be put to sleep.
 * Vamp has 11 puppies unlike the movie when Lady has only 4: Annette, Danielle, Coliette, and Scamp.
 * Also in the segment Shady doesn't have many girlfriends only Vamp. But in the movie Tramp has about 7 or 8 girlfriends including: Lulu, Trixie, Fifi, Rosetta, Junatita, Seqita, Sewawa, and Peg (implied).
 * The Selma and Patty siamese cats seem to live with Vamp in this segment. However in the movie they only appear as Aunt Sarah's cats.
 * Jock and Trusty dogs appear as Shady's friends unlike Lady's. However the dogs in this segment aren't wearing collars making them indeed strays.
 * The Moe dog that looks like Bull is black instead of Bull's lightest brown.
 * A Peg dog doesn't appear in the pound.
 * There aren't any humans in the segment possibly to maintain the dog's persective.
