Perrito is the deuteragonist of DreamWorks' 43rd full-length animated feature film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, a spin-off of the Shrek franchise.
He is a therapy dog who started out living at Mama Luna's house because he disguised himself as a cat. He met the cat named Puss in Boots, and they became fast friends, at least in Perrito's eyes. He then followed Puss and his lover Kitty Softpaws to find the Last Wish before Goldilocks and Big Jack Horner, even though he himself didn't have a wish of his own.
Throughout their journey, he would ultimately touch the hearts of the cats and fully form their unity, known as "Team Friendship". He also originally did not have a name that stuck with him, until he was given his current name by Puss.
Perrito also plays a minor supporting role in the Puss in Boots short The Trident.
He is voiced by Harvey Guillén, who also voiced Odie in The Garfield Movie.

Personality[]
Perrito is a happy-go-lucky, optimistic dog whose goal is to be a therapy dog in the future. He makes the best out of everything, shown by how unfazed he was when talking about his backstory, in which he was thrown off to a river inside a sock and he made the best of it by getting a "free sweater" out of the sock.
As Perrito is the only one who can keep the Dark Forest as a pure and safe place due to the lack of selfishness in his heart whenever he is in contact with the map (as the forest becomes a reflection on the heart of whoever last touched the map), he is the only one who is best qualified to carry it throughout their journey.

Trivia[]
- Despite being a source of comedic relief and one of the more pure characters in the movie, Perrito is also the most foul-mouthed, being the only character to use profanities to the point that when he joins in Goldi and Baby Bear's insult battle, he shocks the whole family with his "vocabulary".
- A common headcanon in the community is that Death could have saved Perrito when he was thrown in the river, which would make sense as Perrito exemplifies the movie's theme of cherishing life, which Death also does and thus saving him to let him live his life out properly would make sense.
- Perrito is unique in the movie's cast of major characters as he is introduced with an "Unwanted" poster instead of a wanted poster. The only other character to not have a wanted poster is the Wolf, aka Death, who lacks any sort of introduction poster due to being the physical manifestation of death.
- Perrito is one of the two major characters not to want to make a wish on the Wishing Star, next to Death.
- Perrito's name literally means "Puppy" in Spanish, which is exactly what he is. Specifically, "Perrito" is the term for a male puppy, with "Perrita" being the term for a female puppy, and the feminine form of "Perrito".
- According to the Via Audio Commentary, John Mulaney was originally supposed to voice Perrito in the film, but the filmmakers didn’t think his comedy would fit with Perrito's "sincerity". He ended up voicing Big Jack Horner instead.
