A tool often used by media makers to help make sure you empathize with the party that they want you to empathize with. The surest way to show that a hero is undeniably a hero and an awesome guy is to show him hanging out with and totally loving his dog. It's his dog. Who ever heard of an awesome dude that doesn't love his dog? Think of this trope as being the physical manifestation of Pet the Dog. If a character has a dog which is around him constantly and whom he is always nice, respectful, and loving to, then that means a scene literally cannot go by in which he does not Pet The Dog. So of course he must be noble and good at heart. Villains who are cruel enough to mess with the dog, on the other hand, can expect full-on retribution from the hero in question, although certain villains who also own and love dogs tend to consider the dog-owning hero a Worthy Opponent. The dog in question is frequently a Canine Companion, sometimes also a Post-Apocalyptic Dog. See also Evil-Detecting Dog, for some of the logic behind this. See also Heroic Dog. Contrast Right-Hand Cat and Right-Hand Attack Dog, compare Kindhearted Cat Lover and Introverted Cat Person. Inverse of Bad People Abuse Animals. Related to but not necessarily mutually inclusive with Friend to All Living Things. noreallife |

Watchmen: Inverted. Rorschach clearly doesn't have a high opinion of dogs at all. When he discovers that two dogs owned by a kidnapper were fed the child's body as means of disposing of the evidence, he promptly kills them. Though calling Rorschach a hero is a bit of a stretch. Played straight with Nite Owl I's dog Phantom, which marks him as the most mentally stable person in the entire cast. |

Mr. Nobody in Chapter 4 plays with this. Although he has his own attack dog he adores, he's a bounty hunter going after John for the price on his head. But he's fairly amiable when off the clock and his hunt for John is nothing personal; he'll even attack other assassins gunning for John if he thinks he can drive the price up. When John saves his dog rather than killing him, Mr. Nobody decides to call off his hunt and instead goes after Chidi, the man who nearly killed his dog. | |

Hawkeye: In Hawkeye (2012) #1, Clint Barton makes sure to get a severely injured dog treated after he saves Clint from being shot at by some thugs while he is unarmed (the dog took a liking to Barton because he gave him a slice of pizza) and ends up getting hit by a car because of it. When one of the criminals responsible for wounding him arrives at the vet to attack Clint, he yells "Who throws a damn dog into traffic —" while punching them. The dog, while now severely banged up, is seen living with him by issue #2. For added points, the dog's called Arrow, but Clint changes it to Lucky to highlight the unlikely survival. Clint's successor Kate Bishop also qualifies, as along with his codename, she also takes Lucky under her guard. | |

In Cases of the 1st Department, Maj. Vaclav Plisek says he likes animals, and he thinks that a victim's disappeared dog is an important lead in the case, which proves to be right. He later adopts the dog because the victim's mother couldn't take him (she had a flat full of cats). Brandy appears in several subsequent episodes, just being cute or biting his colleagues. | |

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon: Ash Ketchum obtains a canine Rock-type Pokémon called Lycanroc. The two have been friends since it was a Rockruff and before it officially joined Ash's team. Of course, Ash is well-known as a friend to all Pokémon, canine or otherwise. All of Gladion's Pokémon are in some way canine — Umbreon, Midnight Lycanroc, and even Silvally to a degree. Later on, he catches a Zoroark. |

Subverted in Darkstalkers. B. B. Hood has a puppy she takes with her everywhere, even to Hell. Considering her personality, it's probably another thing meant to lull her enemies into a false sense of security long enough so that she can stab them, gut them, riddle them with bullets, and sell their body parts on the black market. | |

In Star Trek: Enterprise, Captain Jonathan Archer absolutely adores his pet beagle Porthos. In "A Night in Sickbay", he's willing to throw away humanity's burgeoning relations with the Kreetassans when Porthos becomes infected with a virus after visiting their planet. Admittedly, it's not a very good episode but it does illustrate how much he loves his dog. | |

Tales Series: Collete in Tales of Symphonia. Her personal side quest to name every single stray dog in the game further shows how much of a dog lover she is. In Tales of Vesperia, we have Estelle...who unfortunately cannot ever get Yuri's dog Repede to like her even though she's the purest girl of the group. Even during their many victory quotes, Repede remains dismissive of her many attempts to get close to him, much to her chagrin. In contrast, Yuri's bond with Repede couldn't be any tighter than it is. |

In Rule of Rose, the heroine (and only remotely sane character) is symbolized by dogs - most obviously, her pet puppy. She often cuddles this puppy and gives him treats; in fact the dog's murder is partly what motivates her to fight the Big Bad. The other, less moral, characters are symbolized by different animals and the Big Bad extolls at great length her specific hatred of dogs. Like, there are multiple diary entries where she does nothing other than talk about how filthy and inferior to her they are. | |

Mad Max is different from the other road warriors. Because he has a dog, and that makes him a good guy. Said dog is absent in the sequels, however. | |

In Tales of Vesperia, we have Estelle...who unfortunately cannot ever get Yuri's dog Repede to like her even though she's the purest girl of the group. Even during their many victory quotes, Repede remains dismissive of her many attempts to get close to him, much to her chagrin. In contrast, Yuri's bond with Repede couldn't be any tighter than it is. | |

As pointed out in the Cracked article above, at the beginning of Gladiator, the German peasants are the Ragtag Bunch Of Misfit underdogs fighting against the all-powerful invading Romans in an attempt to protect their homeland. Problem is, the movie wants you to root for the Romans, because that's the side the protagonist, Maximus, and The Good King, are on. Solution? Give them a dog. Even if it doesn't make any sense. | |

The Dresden Files: Harry Dresden has a rather large dog named Mouse who happens to be an Evil-Detecting Dog and a descendant of a Chinese guardian spirit. In an interesting type of foil, the god Hades himself is shown as a dog lover, doting on his beast Cerberus, whose name, as he points out, means 'Spot'. This is one of the signs that he's not a bad guy despite his reputation, and ends up helping Dresden out. |

Sam from Supernatural loves dogs. He's adopted at least two dogs over the course of his life and doesn't keep them mostly due to his dangerous and nomadic lifestyle. Played With with Dean who, due to his experiences with hellhounds, dislikes dogs for a few seasons. However, later he spends an episode being able to communicate with all animals and befriends a German Shepherd, telling the dog that he wishes he could adopt him but, like Sam, believes his lifestyle is too dangerous. Then, in the final season, he does find a Post-Apocalyptic Dog and adopts him. | |

Much to his surprise, however, the prank backfires when it turns out that Wolfe loves dogs and begins to treat the dog as his own. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: Beren and Lúthien: Although Huan is Celegorm's loyal wolfhound, he takes a liking to the heroes Lúthien and Beren. Although he helps Lúthien, Huan still wants to be loyal to Celegorm. When Celegorm and his brother Curufin attempt to murder Lúthien and nearly murder Beren, Huan abandons Celegorm for good: and it is said that no dog of any kind would love or obey Celegorm ever again. In The Fall of Gondolin, Tuor is captured and enslaved by the Easterlings. When Tuor eventually runs away, his master Lorgan sends his soldiers and his hunting dogs after him...to no avail because Tuor had befriended Lorgan's dogs, so they didn't bother him even if they found him. |

Metal Gear: Metal Gear Solid: Otacon loves dogs and Snake is known to keep a team of Huskies, as he dabbles as a musher. However, Snake is not above murdering dogs that get in his way, much to Otacon's horror. The villain Sniper Wolf also keeps a pack of wolf-dogs, referring to them as her family. Otacon indicates that this is an example that she is, in fact, a nice person, though Snake is very doubtful of this. In Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Big Boss can rescue a wolf pup whose mother had been killed. The pup is named DD and goes on to become the Diamond Dogs' mascot, complete with his own eyepatch to match his adoptive father. |

Lady attempts to protect her from her rapist but unfortunately, she being a rather small and timid dog, she gets kicked away quite easily and spends the rest of the scene cowering outside the room. Karyn is deeply concerned when Lady goes missing and she's distraught when she later discovers Lady's mutilated remains. | |

In Dragon Age: Origins, one of your possible companions is a strong Mabari warhound, and if you choose Human Noble origin, he's been with you for years. On the other hand, Well-Intentioned Extremist Teyrn Loghain also used to have a dog that he loved dearly, as he will reveal if you choose to recruit him near the end, and have him in your party with the dog. The Mabari breed's origins are disputed, but one theory is that they were originally bred in the Tevinter Imperium when it was still subjugating most of the continent. When they were ordered to help subjugate the people in what would later become Ferelden, the dogs defected when they realized that the people they were ordered to attack were nobler than their masters. Ferelden culture loves dogs in general and particularly the majestic Mabari Hound for their strength, courage, and intelligence (which is implied to be on the same level as humans). The capital city of Denerim is even compared to the Mabari, and the term "Dog Lords" is used as a slur for Fereldens by other cultures. A bit of lore in the third game has a warning to a new ambassador to Ferelden that using the term could cause a major incident. Not because it's a slur, but because they might interpret it as their dogs being insulted. Directly insulting their dogs would likely start a war. In the first game, a note the Empress of Orlais wrote the ambassador to Ferelden also cautioned that insulting their dogs would likely start a war. Towards the end of the first game the player character might be captured, leading to a (very funny) mission where two of your companions come to rescue you. Said rescuing involves getting past three checkpoints, You can pair anyone with the dog, let the dog do the "talking" and clear all three checkpoints. Apparently, the Fereldens would never expect a Mabari to be up to something nefarious. You can actually have the dog straight up bite a guard, and his companion will immediately assume its the guard's fault (since the guard is keeping Dog from his human, this is Metaphorically True). The Hawke family can have their own mabari warhound in Dragon Age II (if you get the Black Emporium DLC). Even your most moody party members can't help but like him, though Anders states that he's immune to his charms due to being a cat person. This is par for the course; the Hawkes are Fereldans. Cullen in the Trespasser DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition adopts a Mabari (or, as is typical, the Mabari adopts him). And again... Cullen is a Fereldan. According to a Fereldan folksong, the savior Andraste had a loyal Mabari that got cut out of the canon version of her story. Andraste was, of course, Fereldan. In-universe historians apparently don't believe it was likely that Andraste ever had a Mabari, but that doesn't stop the song from being wildly popular in Ferelden anyway. One pamphlet for a choir in the third game notes that even though the song received many votes, it was left out of the repetoire because it tends to "leave most of the choir members a sobbing mess". |

Stargate SG-1: In Chain Reaction, after bluffing his way into Senator Robert Kinsey's house, O'Neill wastes no time befriending Kinsey's dog, which turns out to be useful when a password is the dog's name.note In real life, the dog actually belonged to Richard Dean Anderson. This also counts as an inversion, as Kinsey is the series' longest-running villain and generally treated as an utterly loathsome person. His fondness for his dog, in fact, is probably the only redeeming trait we see in him over the course of eight seasons. There's also the earlier episode Singularity, which ends with Jack offering a Sheba Inu puppy to a child refugee that just settled into her new home on Earth. Judging by the way he phrases it, safe to say he's a dog person: |

Brick from the Borderlands series may be a gigantic, hugely-muscled, Blood Knight Sociopathic Hero, but he still loves dogs. In the first game, he wears the paw of his deceased dog on a necklace as a Tragic Keepsake. In the second game, a second paw is added since he had gotten another dog in between games that was killed by Nisha because she knew it was the only way to really hurt him. In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!, where Nisha is Promoted to Playable, it's revealed that when she was a child she had a dog that she loved very much and was forced to put it down when it went berserk after being bitten by a venomous creature. The incident scarred her and caused her to develop a hatred of cute animals, puppies in particular. | |

Used and lampshaded in Knives Out. Benoit Blanc, the Great Detective character, is fond of dogs and remarks that in his experience they're excellent judges of character. The victim owns a pair of German Shepherds who occasionally pop up and interact with the characters. The sympathetic protagonist is accordingly seen showering them with affection though it backfires on her when one of them happily decides to play "fetch" with her... using an item the dog has unwittingly found that could reveal she's more involved in events than she wants Blanc to realise. Also, when the victim's spoiled Jerkass grandson shows up, the dogs react with aggressive snarling. Guess who turns out to be the mastermind behind events. | |

In Fable II, you're given a dog that follows you around and alerts you to the presence of buried treasure. You can praise it, give it treats, and play catch with it. Of course, the same as with your general morality, whether you treat the dog with such kindness is wholly up to you. | |

Star Trek: Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager has Molly, an Irish Setter. An early moment in the pilot episode has her convincing her fiancé to care for the pregnant Molly while she's gone (which turns out to be far longer than either of them had anticipated). In Star Trek: Enterprise, Captain Jonathan Archer absolutely adores his pet beagle Porthos. In "A Night in Sickbay", he's willing to throw away humanity's burgeoning relations with the Kreetassans when Porthos becomes infected with a virus after visiting their planet. Admittedly, it's not a very good episode but it does illustrate how much he loves his dog. Star Trek: Picard starts with Jean-Luc Picard at his family vineyard after he left Starfleet. He now has a dog named "Number One". |

Superman: Superboy/Superman and his dog companion Krypto the Superdog. Krypto also becomes Supergirl's pet when she arrives on Earth. In alternate universe story The Death of Superman (1961), in which Superman gets murdered by Lex Luthor, Supergirl becomes Krypto's sole owner when she takes over her cousin's job. In most continuities, though, Supergirl's pet is a cat named Streaky. In The Supergirl from Krypton (2004), Kara tries to make friends with Krypto, but Krypto doesn't appear to like her. She is upset about it. Later they become friends. In the Post-Flashpoint continuity, Krypto was the House of El's family dog. Kara is delighted◊ when she learns that he also survived. In Krypton No More, Superman, Supergirl, and Krypto fight and have fun together. In The Superman Adventures story "Old Wounds", Superman has a lot of fun having Krypto around (thanks to one of Mxy's tricks) before the dog's superpowers emerge. In Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Superman-Prime #1, Superboy-Prime hurts Krypto, resulting in the whole Superman Family ganging up on him. |

Shinjiro bonds quickly with Koromaru and cooks fancy meals for him. A female Player Character in the game's PSP port can forge a Social Link with him. Furthermore, in Persona 4: Arena Ultimax, Koromaru fights alongside Ken Amada. In Persona 4, Chie explains to the Player Character in her Social Link that she and her best friend, Yukiko, met as children over a dog that Yukiko's parents wouldn't let her keep, so Chie took care of the dog instead. In the anime adaptation, Chie even has a picture of the dog, who has grown into a big ol' upper◊. |

Daredevil (2015): Discussed in "Rabbit in a Snowstorm". When Matt shows up to work sporting a bruise over his right eye from his fight with the Russians in the previous episode, Foggy and Karen suggest he get a seeing-eye dog. While he is a very violent Anti-Hero who kills criminals with extreme prejudice, Frank Castle adopted a dog the Kitchen Irish had been using for fights after he machine-gunned the previous owners. It's arguably one of the few things he is still emotionally attached to as Finn and the other Kitchen Irish get Frank to confess where he hid their money he had stolen by threatening to kill the dog. He does confess, knowing full well the money's been booby-trapped with a bomb. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Invoked with an entire family of heroes. In the first chapter, the five Stark children and their bastard brother find six orphaned direwolf pups, which will grow up into mighty wolves. There are four males and two females; one of the males is an albino outcast. Naturally, the bastard adopts the albino, the three Stark boys take the other males, and the two Stark girls take the females. The wolves become their closest companions, reflecting each child's personality, fate, and more. Downplayed with Sandor Clegane, the Hound, who loves dogs far more than he likes people but who is by no means heroic. In the case of the Cleganes, It Runs in the Family. The man who earned House Clegane the title was a Lannister dog-handler and the family crest is or, three dogs passant sable (or in plain English, three black running dogs on a yellow field). |

The A-Team: Part of Hannibal's Establishing Character Moment. When we first meet him, he's been captured by a drug cartel in Mexico, whose gunmen sic their two dogs on him after interrogating him. After a short offscreen scuffle, the dogs reappear alive and well, simply attached at the collar by the handcuffs he just broke out of. (The movie makes a point of showing he has a working pistol, too, he just didn't use it). In addition to showing that Hannibal just likes dogs, it foreshadows his dislike for Collateral Damage, as throughout the movie he makes a point of never harming anybody who doesn't deserve it. | |

The Fly II: The main character, Martin, befriends a lab dog when he's a young boy, but ends up witnessing it being used as a guinea pig for a teleportation experiment that goes horribly wrong, turning the poor animal into a horrifically deformed mutant. A few years later, Martin, now a biological adult thanks to his insect DNA giving him Rapid Aging, discovers that the scientists kept the dog alive in a pit, feeding it slop. It acts aggressively towards everyone, but when it realizes Martin is the boy who befriended it years ago, it weakly wags its tail and allows Martin to pet it. Martin then performs a Mercy Kill on the dog with chloroform to put it out of its misery. Later, when Martin has completed his metamorphosis into a grotesque man-fly beast, it's shown he nonetheless retains his humanity when he pets the guard dog sent after him and leaves it unharmed (the humans that come after him... they're not so lucky). | |

Lethal Weapon: Riggs owns a Shetland shepherd named Sam for all four movies, making him his most faithful companion in the franchise, as he had him even before meeting Murtaugh. The third movie is when this really comes into force, however, as Riggs breaks into a villain's warehouse, finds himself greeted by a snarling Rottweiler, and reacts by... getting down on the ground with him and making friends. A few scenes later, he brings the dog home with him, and by the next movie has adopted him too. | |

Darkest Dungeon: The Houndmaster is clearly attached to his Irish Wolfhound and is by far the most heroic of the assorted adventurers you can choose from. His damage animation shows him shielding his hound from harm with his own body, and his battle quips mostly revolve around praising and reassuring his hound. The bond is mutual, many of the Houndmasters battle and camp skills highlight the hound's dedication, with abilities like "lick wounds" and "therapy dog" for healing and reducing stress. As a duo, they are the most stoic unit when facing certain death at the hands of the Heart of Darkness. A Selfish Houndmaster inverts this trope. Selfish characters place their own interests above everyone else, and are definitely not heroic; a Selfish Houndmaster places his hound above everyone else. |

Buck Danny: Averted hard with the relationship between Sonny and his admiral's pet bulldog, O'Connor. Note that Sonny is generally friendly to dogs and other animals, sometimes unwisely so. O'Connor, however, is a neverending source of accidents and misfortunes, made worse by the fact that if anything were ever to happen to him while Sonny was nearby, he knows the admiral will blame him for it. | |

Game of Thrones: The direwolf is the sigil of House Stark and each member of the newest generation (Robb, Jon, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon) receives one as a pet. Stannis mentions his affection for dogs — "loyal creatures" in his eyes. Played with in that during the Siege of Storm's End, after horses and cats had been consumed, he and his men were forced to eat all the hounds in the castle's kennels in order to survive. |

When Celegorm and his brother Curufin attempt to murder Lúthien and nearly murder Beren, Huan abandons Celegorm for good: and it is said that no dog of any kind would love or obey Celegorm ever again. | |

In Earth's Children, Ayla more specifically has a wolf, who she adopts and raises from a cub in The Mammoth Hunters. She loves Wolf to the point she occasionally refers to him as a son and is protective of him, helping other people to see him as more than just a potential threat. She dedicates a lot of time and energy teaching Wolf tricks and obedience, and he helps her hunt and fend off threats once he's big enough. | |

Zigzagged in Warhammer 40,000. On the heroic side, you have the Space Wolves, where the hero is a seven-foot-tall Space Viking and his dog is a wolf the size of a rhino. On the villainous side, you have Flesh Hounds of Khorne, Hell Hounds that live to rip and slaughter, and Beasts of Nurgle, which is what happens when you take the personality of a Big Friendly Dog and put it in the body of a slug the size of a van that oozes acid. | |

Zagreus in Hades is extremely fond of Cerberus, and Cerberus reciprocates. There's a big ol' Pet Cerberus option when they interact in the House of the Dead. When it looks like Cerberus is a boss, Zagreus instead starts running around the Temple of Styx looking for a sack of meat to bribe him with, because he'd rather risk an admittedly temporary death at the hands of angry satyrs than harm Cerberus. | |

Following completion of the mission, Lucky can be found in the control room of the Avengers' Helicarrier, and can affectionately petted by all of the playable Avengers. | |

Played straight, then subverted, then played straight again in The Walking Dead (Telltale). In season two, Clementine can be kind to a stray dog, Sam, she finds in an abandoned campsite. After she doesn't want to share some canned beans she found, the dog attacks her, mauling her arm and forcing Clem to kill him in self-defence. From now on, due to that event, Clem is afraid of dogs. She can overcome it in season four, if the player chooses to seek out interactions with Rosie, and Clem can end up as Rosie's new master after Marlon's death. | |

Abel from Street Fighter IV. More than one of his post-fight quotes are about his wish to have a pet dog, him wondering if he can go buy a pup collar after the match, etc. In Super Street Fighter IV, he does adopt a cute little pup. | |

All the girls in School-Live! have a thing for Taromaru, though Taromaru doesn't like Miki much. In the manga, she never even met Taromaru as he is a minor Posthumous Character, though one chapter's cover does show Miki photographing a puppy who doesn't seem to like her. | |

Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager has Molly, an Irish Setter. An early moment in the pilot episode has her convincing her fiancé to care for the pregnant Molly while she's gone (which turns out to be far longer than either of them had anticipated). | |

MacGyver (1985): Not the hero himself, but the Coltons, a family of bounty hunters that recur throughout the series, who have a bulldog named Frog. A case of Defrosting Ice King, as Frank Colton initially claims to hate dogs and is mildly allergic to them; however, by the end of Frog's introductory episode, he's mellowed out enough to adopt him when his owner has to be relocated by the witness protection program. (With a little guilt-tripping pressure from Mac and Pete). By the next time we see him, the entire family's adopted him. | |

In Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], Sora's starter Dream Eater, Meow Wow, is a cat-dog hybrid with an Ambiguous Gender. And he gets along with it very well, as the final cutscene shows. | |

Sora, of Kingdom Hearts, pals around with King Mickey's dog Pluto in the first few hours of the game. In Kingdom Hearts II, his girlfriend Kairi spends an even longer time befriending the dog. In Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], Sora's starter Dream Eater, Meow Wow, is a cat-dog hybrid with an Ambiguous Gender. And he gets along with it very well, as the final cutscene shows. |
