Dogs Are Dumb, right? You're wrong on this one. This is where a dog is really, really mean to anyone and everyone, anything and everything, whether rabid, genetically tampered with, or trained from birth to be that way. If the dog has an owner, then sometimes even the owner can get on the dog's wrong side from time to time especially if said owner has been treating the dog with anything other than the utmost respect, though this isn't always the case. This type of dog is not a Hellhound, but is a rather normal and standard dog aside from his viciousness. He can be kicked, but 9 times out of 10, Failure Is the Only Option where that is concerned. Oftentimes they can launch on squirrels, if spotted. A Cute Kitten might also be a favored target of a Vicious Dog, especially when Cat/Dog Dichotomy comes into play. Not a savage wolf, though given his Super-Persistent Predator temperament, he may as well be. May be an Angry Guard Dog, a Bully Bulldog or a Psycho Poodle, although those types usually guard homes or properties. The Vicious Dog, on the other hand, is mean regardless of his size or breed and regardless of whether he's a pet/guard dog or not. The Mister Muffykins are usually a puppy or small dog version of this, given their tendencies to get on everyone's nerves. Of course, like the aforementioned dogs, they can attack people, among other things. The Evil Counterpart of the Big Friendly Dog. Very likely to be a Right-Hand Attack Dog if it's owned by the villains. If a Big Friendly Dog or a dog that's normally a Gentle Giant gets infected with rabies or is genetically tampered with or is simply pushed too far, chances are very good that he'll become this. In which case, BE VERY AFRAID. Even if the Cats Are Mean, they can still be horrified by these kinds of dogs. The Werewolves Are Dogs-kind of werewolves are prone to behaving like this. The trope takes its name from the frequent signs on the front of homeowners' gates, usually reading simply "Beware Of Dog," that warn visitors about the potential badness of the resident pooch. Incidentally, if you put up one of these signs, be warned — this will not reduce your risk of getting sued if the dog attacks someone. In fact, it weakens your legal defense, since the sign proves you know the dog is dangerous. See No Animals Allowed when an establishment just bans animals entirely, with these dogs not helping discourage such policies. |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie has Francis, the dog owned by the rich Brooklyn couple who hire the Brothers to fix their sink. When Luigi accidentally steps on and breaks Francis' chew toy, the dog angrily attacks them in the bathroom and causes damage that makes the leaking even worse. Unusually for this trope, Francis appears to be a Golden Retriever. | |

Undertale plays vigorously with this trope, mostly subverting it. While several guard dogs do in fact attack you on sight, and humorously worded signs forewarn about a few of these encounters, not all of these dogs are particularly ill-tempered, the ones who are only really act this way around unfamiliar humans, and in every case you can literally Pet the Dog and befriend it. The sign next to the Lesser Dog's house parodies the classic warning: "aware of dog, pls pet dog." | |

Angry dogs are among the obstacles you must run away from in INSIDE (2016). If you see or hear one, run the hell away, because they are fast, persistent, and want you dead. And since the player character is a defenseless little boy, you have no choice but to run away and avoid them. You end up torn to bits if you are too slow. They come either solo or in groups of three. | |

Fallout featured a sidequest in which a man would try to enter his home, but a mutt standing in front of the door would run him off repeatedly. There were two ways to get the dog to move: feed it, or interact with it while wearing a leather jacket. Dogmeat would then join your party, continuing to be vicious to your enemies. The latter method of recruiting him is a Shout-Out to Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior in which the titular, leather jacket-wearing character is accompanied by a Blue Heeler. | |

In the original Law & Order, a vicious dog was actually brought into the courtroom when it was responsible for a person's death, to compel the owners into admitting they knew the dog was dangerous and kept it negligently. It worked, but the judge was not pleased with McCoy for having it brought in in the first place. | |

"Toy Story" has Sid's Angry Guard Dog, Scud. Scud frequently chases and attacks the toys, which makes it difficult for Buzz and Woody to escape from the house. He even goes so far as to chase Buzz down a busy road. In the sequel, this is averted with Andy's new dog Buster, who is originally built up as this during his introduction, but quickly turns out to be a Big Friendly Dog instead. | |

The 2015 horror film Night of the Wild is about dogs in a peaceful town being affected by a strange green meteor that makes them Brainwashed and Crazy. Led by a wolf-like dog, they all start turning on their human owners, and it's hinted in the Downer Ending that the meteor has affected other towns and dogs too. | |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: the female slaver warg is a mad beast that looks like a cross between a hyena and a pug, with crazed bulging eyes. This warg is far more out of control and rabid than previously-seen Warg species, hurling itself into combat with no thought for its own safety. | |

Witching Hour: Gaz owns a pack of hunting hounds that would make Ramsay Bolton green with envy, as she claims that they're trained to devour human flesh on command. However, even they're no match for Zim, who is able to effortlessly slaughter them as part of his larger plan to frame Gaz for witchcraft. | |

Subverted in Person of Interest. In "The Contingency", a neo-Nazi gang have taken Reese, Fusco and Leon prisoner, and are threatening them with a barking dog that their leader boasts is military-trained. However Reese points out that a military dog is trained not to bark, meaning it's anxious and doesn't respect its owner. He's quickly able to get control by knowing the correct commands (in Dutch) used to train it. The dog goes on to become their Team Pet. | |

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: In the Teal Mask DLC, Okidogi of the Loyal Three turns out to be a greedy marauder who attacked Ogerpon in search of treasure and got a well-earned beating for it, rather than a heroic Pokémon who nobly perished in combat. | |

Survivor Dogs: The first arc has the Fierce Dogs, a pack of Doberman pinschers always eager to fight someone or kill something (though there are some exceptions like Storm and Arrow). The first arc also has Terror, a huge mastiff/pit bull mix who rants about being a servant to the Fear Dog and treats his packmates badly. |

Averted on the Animal Planet series Too Cute; whenever breeds that are popularly considered "dangerous" are featured, the narrator is quick to emphasize that with proper training, they make wonderful pets. | |

Barney Miller: In "Dog Days", the detectives of the 12th Precinct bust a dogfighting ring and arrest one of the owners, a Mr. Lasorda. Mr. Lasorda's fighting dog somehow follows its owner to the 12th. Yemana locks himself in the cage with Mr. Lasorda to hide. Later, when an unknowing Levitt casually walks the dog back into the squad room, all the detectives are held hostage. Barney pulls his gun and nearly shoots the dog before Mr. Lasorda finally calls him off. | |

White Dog is about a dog trained to attack and kill black people on sight. Despite steps being taken to remove the dog's viciousness, it only results in the dog turning on white people instead. | |

Agreement and Disputation: Watson leaves Baker Street early in the morning due to being the closest doctor to the scene of a carriage accident. When Holmes asks how they found him without a signboard, Watson answers that he treated the policeman currently on duty after an alley dog attacked him. | |

Remington Steele plays with this in a season one episode when Laura and Murphy break into a suspect's house. Murphy, having seen the "Beware Dog" sign, is paranoid until he sees the old, lazy Bassett hound lying on an armchair. | |
