You see that guy there? They're crawling around on all fours, and... are they sniffing that guy's butt? Who do they think they are? A dog, of course. There's plenty of Shapeshifting tropes, but this one is different. You see, these characters don't actually change form, they just think they do. This is whenever a character believes they are a dog or any other animal without actually being it. A "Freaky Friday" Flip with an animal also doesn't count. If faithful and well-behaved it might actually make a good Human Pet. All Animals Are Dogs might be explained if other non-dog animals are under the same delusion. If the deluded character is actually good at mimicking a dog, that may be because The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body. Do not confuse with Delusion of Godhood, which is something else. |

In Nancy Drew: The Curse of Blackmoor Manor, the culprit convinces Linda that she's becoming a werewolf by leaving her ominous notes and switching out her moisturizer for hair-growth lotion. Which may sound unrealistic, but if you lived in a place like Blackmoor Manor, you'd be feeling pretty paranoid too. | |

In SnarfQuest, the evil dragon Kizarvexius was struck in the head by lightning during a powerful storm, and forgot who or what he was. Suthaze cursed the dragon into believing that he was a duck named Willie. Thus, Suthaze gained a powerful servant that could be easily controlled. | |

The Simpsons: In the softball episode, one of Mr. Burns' team of ringers is hypnotized into thinking he's a chicken. He continues to think he's a chicken for the rest of the episode. In the episode "Homer and Apu", Apu reveals he once worked in the Kwik-E-Mart for 24 hours straight and ended up thinking he was a hummingbird due to lack of sleep. He even has security camera footage confirming this. |

One of the games on Whose Line Is It Anyway? is called "Party Quirks", in which three players pretend to be guests at a party with strange personality traits and the fourth player, portraying the host, has to figure out what they are. One notable game from the Clive Anderson years featured the quirk "slowly turning into a dog". | |

In Grand Theft Auto V (specifically the re-release for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4) there are 27 peyote plants scattered across the map. Eating them will make any of the 3 protagonists hallucinate that they are various animals, including various dogs and even more specifically may make them think they are Chop the Rottweiler. The game allows you to play briefly as these animals (which also includes, cats, coyotes, sharks and other sea creatures, various birds, and even a sasquatch). However the game makes it pretty clear that whilst the characters think they have transformed they have not really done so (though it doesn't explain the flight as birds). | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: A downplayed version of a cathood delusion seems to be an element of Lalli's implied disorder. He's perfectly aware that he's human, but has a lot of cat-like habits such as sitting on his haunches, sleeping in strange places (and doing so in the daytime due to being used to working at night), scratching doors instead of knocking at them and hissing at human beings that disturb him too much. He's also of a very solitary nature, has limited tolerance for other people touching him and is hostile to cats he runs into. Unsurprisingly, his luonto eventually turned out to be an Eurasian lynx, which may offer a partial explanation. The explanation is really partial as while the two other mages of the story have personality traits that are typically associated with their respective spirit animal equivalents, these traits stay within the range of acceptable human behaviour. | |

The protagonist of Woof Woof Story is actually a dog...because he wished, before he died, to be reborn as one. Sniffing out table scraps and fetching balls makes him happier than he's ever been before, and he is perfectly content to forget that he was ever human. note The sole exception to this perspective being that, as he puts it, "I'm not a furry!" Female canines are in no way attractive to him. | |

Happened to Rocko in Rocko's Modern Life, where his friends, Heiffer and Filbert, used a hypnotism kit from the mail to make Rocko act like a rooster, a statue, and finally a dog. Before they have the chance to return him back to normal, Rocko escapes outside. While chasing a streetsweeper, he gets swept under the vehicle which tears off his clothes and makes his fur shaggy, fooling his neighbor Bev Bighead into thinking he really was a dog and adopting him as her pet. Even her husband, Ed Bighead, doesn't make the connection that the new pet is his hated neighbor next door, and merely regards him as an annoying pest. Fortunately, Rocko returns back to normal at the end of the episode. | |

Discworld: This is a speciality of Granny Weatherwax, who deems it more humane, more economical, and more amusing than the classic frog transformation. It should be noted that it wears off... eventually. And in the case of the above mentioned Mr Wilkins, it actually gave him a new hobby - swimming. The Wee Free Men also has a toad who wonders if he's a man turned into a toad or a toad cursed into believing it, with precedent for both having been shown in the series beforehand. The former is true. Inverted in Witches Abroad, where Lady Lilith has given a wolf human thoughts to make the Little Red Riding Hood story come true. This drives the wolf mad, and he allows the woodcutter to cut off his head. Teppicymon XXVII from Pyramids occasionally convinced himself he was a seagull and would "perch" atop walls and pillars, which could cause a bit of social awkwardness when people saw their pharaoh and living god act that way. |

The Garfield Show: Odie once did this to an entire town in "Dog Days", when an alien gave him a self-replicating alien cookie as gratitude for finding him marshmallows. Said cookie had a side-effect on Odie wherein every person he licked starts acting like a dog, and when the affected person licks someone else they act like dogs, too. Basically, it was the dog version of The Virus. | |

The X-Files: In the Season 1 episode "Shapes", Scully tells Mulder that most reports of werewolves were really describing people with lycanthropy, a form of insanity in which the patient believes they have the ability to transform into a wolf. Given that the series deals with supernatural phenomena in pretty much every episode, it turns out that there really is a werewolf on the loose. | |

Happens many times in the Disney Ducks Comic Universe. In Carl Barks' story "Trala La", Scrooge McDuck has a nervous breakdown from over-work and starts acting like a squirrel. One story about Gyro Gearloose has the inventor try to figure out why the bird sings. After inventing various machines to answer this question, the story ends with him behaving like a bird. A story about Donald Duck has him see a hypnotist to help with his phobia of cats. The hypnotist puts him under and instructs him that every time he sees a cat, he's to imagine that he's a big German shepherd. This causes Donald to start chasing after every cat he sees while barking furiously. |

Jackie Chan Adventures: One episode had Evil Brit Valmont spray Uncle with a gas that causes amnesia. Valmont says, "Fare thee well, you old goat!" Uncle, who was wondering who he was, said, "Oh! I am a goat!" So he starts walking and running around on all fours, nibbling on stuff and bleating! | |

A Song of Ice and Fire has a decidedly non-funny example in Biter. A feral child raised to fight dogs in a pit, Biter sniffs people as they walk by him, kills his enemies with his (filed) teeth, and eats his victims after the fact. He's also utterly loyal to Rorge, the man who made him into what he is. | |

The Killer (1989): Near the closing shootout of the movie, a dying Fung Sei tells Ah Jong that he doesn't know whether he's a human or a dog anymore, which may be a sign that he's close to (or has already crossed) the Despair Event Horizon as a result of the monstrously cruel No-Holds-Barred Beatdown he received at the hands of Wong Hoi, who repeatedly likened poor Sei to a dog during the beating. | |

Happened on one episode of Monsters vs. Aliens, thanks to some Applied Phlebotinum. Sqweep wants a puppy, so B.O.B. volunteers to act as a dog for him, but can't get the behavior right. To remedy this, Sqweep makes a device to alter B.O.B.'s brain waves; but as B.O.B. has no brain to speak of, the ray just goes through him and ricochets all over the base, making everyone else think they're dogs. | |

In Child of the Storm, Harry considers using the Discworld variant on Jean's cheating ex-boyfriend instead of actually turning him into a frog (apparently doing that not only has ethical issues, but also practical ones - one annoying person quickly ends up spawning a million irritating frogs). However, with a little regret, he opts not to as it would probably be a breach of Mind over Manners. | |

One of the strongest heroes in One-Punch Man is Watchdog Man, a guy in a dog suit who protects his part of the city. Hero Killer Garou went up against him and only escaped because the fight strayed away from the neighborhood. Even more humiliating is the fact that his "moves" consist of "shaking hands", rolling over and other pet tricks. Garou is a genius martial artist who specializes in defeating other human fighters, but Watchdog Man doesn't fight like a human, he fights like a playful dog. | |

In the Grand Finale of Pound Puppies (1980s), the stress of running the pound (and inability to escape it, even when on an attempted vacation) eventually broke the evil aunt Katrina Stoneheart, causing her to conclude that maybe she was a dog, too.
