Our heroes face a bloodthirsty-looking monster that is six feet tall with a thousand pointy teeth! Oh, and it is attacking that cute girl. Attack!
Wait, why is the girl throwing rocks at our heroes?
It turns out that the girl kept the monster as a pet, and they were playing. Bonus point if the monster is, in fact, harmless.
This is what happens when What Measure Is a Non-Cute? and What the Hell, Hero? intersect.
The title comes from Fluffy the Terrible, the creature whom our protagonists are foolishly trying to get rid of, and Fluffy Tamer, the one shouting this trope's name.

Bleach introduces Nel in this fashion. Ichigo "rescues" her from a group of arrancar who turn out to be her friends.
Incidentally, Nel is playing "endless tag" with her friends, and since "Nel is a masochist" (and a loli with her arrancar mask covered), their "game" looked an awful lot like three hollows chasing a sobbing little girl. Actually, that's exactly what it was.

Angel
A pregnant woman was being followed by an armor-plated demon. Angel kills the demon but discovers that it was protecting her from other demons.
Cordelia, trapped in an unknown dimension ends up being chased by a vicious beast who catches her and... licks her face?. Whew. Then the pet's owner showed up, congratulated the "dog" and chained Cordelia. Unfortunately, it turns out that while the beast was a pet, it was a hound hunting... humans.

In El-Hazard: The Magnificent World, Fujisawa-sensei "rescues" Miz from her monstrous manservant. He turned out to be safe, and Miz decided to go with it since it might result in Rescue Romance.

Voltaire's Candide published in 1759 had this in the story. The heroes rescue some women running from apes and it turns out the apes were their husbands.

Fullmetal Alchemist had a variation on this. Scar, the neighborhood serial killer, comes out to violently attack our heroes. May Chang attacks the Elrics when they try for a finishing blow, and runs off with an injured Scar.

Harry Potter:
While Hagrid is far from a cute young girl, his attachment to his exotic pets fits. He names the three-headed dog Fluffy, he is upset when he has to send his baby dragon Norbert away, and he cries buckets when the giant spider (Acromantula) Aragog dies. He was expelled from Hogwarts for keeping dangerous critters as pets, including Aragog. Harry and Ron are often at a loss to understand him, though the Trio does recognize why he is upset over the scheduled execution of an innocent hippogriff.
Hagrid himself is a version of this. Giant hairy scary guy who can bend rifle barrels with one hand comes knocking down the door? If the Dursleys were proper foster parents instead of assholes who didn't give a crap about Harry, they'd probably freak out when Hagrid approached Harry. Interestingly enough, he got the reverse treatment in the wizarding world. When Hagrid was outed as a half-giant, despite the attempts to drum up the sensationalism, Dumbledore was bombarded with a barrage of letters telling him not to dare sack Hagrid because he was one of the best men the parents knew and they trusted him to keep their kids safe.

Enchanted Forest Chronicles contain multiple examples, especially in the first book, Dealing With Dragons. A princess, Cimorene, runs away and volunteers to be the captive of a dragon; she then spends her time trying to stop knights from fighting the dragon because she doesn't want them to rescue her.

Happens quite frequently in BioShock with the Big Daddies and the Little Sisters. As their names suggest, the former are the protectors of the latter and will literally kill anyone dumb enough to mess with their girls. Given the options you have after killing a Big Daddy (Cure or Kill his Little Sister), this can be necessarily cruel or downright evil.
BioShock 2 puts the player on the Fluffy side by making the protagonist an older model of a Big Daddy who protects the Little Sisters so they can gather ADAM for him.

An episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender has Aang trying to find a crazy king's lost pet Flopsie as one of three deadly challenges. He thinks it's the cute and cuddly rabbit being chased by the 7-foot-tall gorilla-goat thing. He eventually figures out the trick and even learns an Aesop about it (after the climactic fight with the king, of course).

One of the first stories in Gintama has the daughter of an alien diplomat trying to rescue her unknown massive alien being. Gin cuts it up.
Inverted later when Shinpachi thinks Kagura's new alien giant dog is playing with her, Gin informs him that the dog's attacking her but she's just too powerful to notice.

In Gems of War, two quest-lines involve this. In Adana, the inventor Sparkgrinder is adamant that Carnex (a rogue construct) isn't really dangerous and can be fixed, while in the Forest of Thorns, Rowanne is similarly convinced that the corrupted tree Gloom Leaf can be cured. In both cases, local authorities disagree, leading to more fights than would be necessary if everyone was on the same page.

At the start of Star Trek Into Darkness, Captain Kirk is being Chased by Angry Natives when he's suddenly confronted by a huge alien creature that lifts onto its hind legs and roars. Kirk stuns it with his phaser, only for Bones to appear and tell him off because that was the animal they were supposed to ride off on.

In the Doctor Who story "The Rescue", the relationship between 20th century companion Barbara and 25th-century companion Vicki starts off badly when Barbara "rescues" Vicki from being "attacked" by a 6-foot-long, tooth-baring (vegetarian) lobster-monster... by shooting it in the face with a flare gun.

Hometown Story has a variant where the creature was not completely harmless, but a villager had grown attached to it due to growing it in her farm over several weeks. The trope came into play when a giant version of one of the setting's run-of-mill monsters attacked it.

Averted in Shadow Hearts: Covenant. A giant cat attacks you at one point. This is Lucia and Carla's pet, Andre... but they don't mind you beating up their cat because, frankly, the cat didn't have a reason to hurt you and you were just defending yourself.

In Digimon Tamers, this probably would have happened with Antylamon (the last Deva yet to be revealed) had Susie not been given her Digivice before Takato and Henry could think of attacking. And Zhuqiaomon reverts her to Lopmon shortly afterward, confirming (see Redemption Demotion) her Heel–Face Turn.

Becomes a major character-driving plot point for one villain in Tales of the Abyss, where the monster in question was the adoptive mother of the little girl, who naturally spends the game trying to avenge her giant carnivorous mommy.
