This trope is about the fact that women seem to be naturally fond of animals, and tend to show more interest in a man who has one or more. Men with a cute puppy may take the animal to a local dog park, farmer's market or outdoor cafe patio, and use the animal as an attention-grabber or conversation starter. While the cliche animal is a dog, all sorts of animals have been depicted as "chick magnets" in stories. With online dating apps, some men pose with cute puppies in their profile photos to attract interest (however, beware of being "dogfished", which is when a person borrows someone's animals for their profile photos). Compare Pick Up Babes With Babes, Cuteness Proximity. Any kind of Animal Lover (such as Kindhearted Cat Lover and Canine Companion) can get this. |

A strip from The Far Side had a man test this theory, by taking a pet alligator for a walk in the park. It ended up eating another woman's poodle. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: An implied and downplayed version. The Denmark portion of the Just Before the End Distant Prologue focuses on a man from mainland Denmark who is on a ferry to drop his cat off at his sister's place on Bornholm island before an important business meeting. His presence at the meeting gets compromised when sudden travel restrictions mean the boat won't be making its return trip. The story ends with him getting fired by his Mean Boss over the phone, and getting cheered up by the boat waitress who had previously chewed him out for his initial rude reaction to the news of the travel restriction. What is shown of their conversation includes the waitress noticing his cat and calling him cute. The Danish member of the main cast is that pair's great-grandson. | |

After noticing that the women around him all liked birds, Jon of Garfield slammed an ice cream cone into Garfield's face to look like a beak, and asked a passerby if she wanted to pet his parrot. She asked if it talked, and the strip ended with Garfield thinking "The stories I could tell, lady." There's another early comic where Jon takes Garfield on a walk through the park, hoping to invoke this trope. After Garfield half-strangles one lady with his leash and traumatizes another's dog, Jon decides "back to the drawing board". While on a date◊, Jon reveals to Liz that he keeps a picture of Garfield as a kitten in his wallet, and Liz becomes enamored enough with Jon to cover his face in Lipstick Marks. This is largely justified, since Liz works as veterinarian. |

In an episode of American Dad!, Steve wants to get a dog for this purpose. His dad brings him home an old, weak, dying, 20-year old dog. Steve reluctantly takes it, and gets mocked by some passing girls. However, he sees this as a positive since a girl "noticed him". | |

One episode of Top Gear had Hammond doing an experiment regarding which was a better "girl magnet", a flashy sports car or a retriever puppy (named Killer). The puppy won by a mile. All who approached fell under the spell of the Cuteness Proximity and didn't even notice the car. | |

In A Dog's Purpose, Wendi's boyfriend buys her a puppy on a whim to make her like him more. It doesn't turn out well for Bear. Like many dogs bought without much thought, Bear's owners weren't prepared for a puppy and couldn't commit to him (Wendi wasn't even allowed to have dogs in her housing). As a result, Bear is later given to Wendi's mother and abusive stepfather, where he is kept chained in the yard under minimal conditions until his owners finally decide to throw him out onto the streets. | |

In Four Against the Bank, the wife of one of the four German bank robbers, Freddie (Alexandra Maria Lara), advises the only one of the robbers who isn't suspected by anti-bank robbery cop Elizabeth Zollner (Antje Traue), Max (Matthias Schweighöfer), to take the pose with a cat for his profile photo on the dating app used by Zollner so the chances to hook Zollner (and make her believe someone else committed the robbery) will be greater, in addition to having him pretend that he works at a kitchen soup. It works. | |

In Pokémon: The Series, Brock would often use this trope in his several attempts to get the girl, especially if it involves a Pokémon he has. And naturally, it ends in failure. One notable episode, "Hassle in the Castle", features a woman named Dr. Anna who uses a Zubat to help her do medical diagnosis scans with its Supersonic move. Brock eagerly shows her his Zubat and its Supersonic move, and then soon declare his intention to stay wit her as professional medical team. Unfortunately for Brock, his Zubat evolved into Golbat, which makes its Supersonic scream too powerful for Dr. Anna's medical practices, thus forcing Brock to leave with a broken heart. | |

A storyline in Mary Worth had Wilbur Weston, dumped by Estelle for yelling at her cat, have a conversation with Saul Wynters in which Wynters mentioned that he and his girlfriend had bonded over their dogs. Cue Wilbur getting a French bulldog from a shelter, expecting it to be a chick magnet. The closest he gets is a woman who explains to him all the things he doesn't know about dogs, but realises he's still hung up on Estelle. Then Estelle takes him back, and also adopts the dog so he doesn't have to look after it, so ... yay? | |

How I Met Your Mother: Barney harnesses the power of a ridiculously cute teacup pig to get women into his apartment. He later attempts to fill in the "wingman" role of his no-longer-single friend with a dog he meets and names "Brover". Numerous dog puns involving "bones" and "chasing tail" ensue. Then it turns out the dog was lost and belonged to an attractive woman, who ends up acting as the last chick attracted by the magnet. |

Frasier has a gender-flipped version with Roz who returns from walking her dog and admits she was trying to get the attention of an attractive guy at the dog park. Apparently there were several other women with dogs of their own trying to do the exact same thing. On another occasion she gets a phone number while walking her dog and Eddie and discusses the trope with Frasier. | |
