In 1937 Disney story man Joe Grant came up with an idea inspired by the antics of his of his Springer Spaniel Lady, and how she got “shoved aside” by Joe’s new baby. He approached Walt Disney with sketches of Lady. Disney enjoyed the sketches and commissioned Grant to start story development on a new animated feature Lady. In the early 1940’s Walt read a short story written by Ward Greene, “Happy Dan, The Whistling Dog”, in Cosmopolitan Magazine. He thought Grant’s story would be improved if Lady fall in love with a cynical dog character like the one in Greene’s story, and bought the rights to it.
