So the aliens have taken over the world. Or maybe they've captured us and taken us back to their home planet. Either way, they decide we're cute and cuddly and they're going to take us home and keep us. This can also apply with earthbound supernatural races like vampires or demons as well. The main component of the trope is that it's a work where humans are the pets of another species. Overlaps with Sapient Pet and This Is My Human. May overlap with Bond Creatures or People Zoo. Especially common when humans are a Formerly Sapient Species. For a less literal example, see Treated Worse than the Pet. Not to be confused with the webseries The Human Pet. |

Afterlife SMP: As a Raccoon, Lizzie had an odd fascination with Villagers and has a Villager she named "Humie" (a cured Zombie Villager) who she keeps in her Raccoon-life house. She has also once lured Gem (who holds a Villager origin in her first life) to her house to keep as a pet using composters, though Gem quickly escapes while Lizzie's back was turned. | |

Planet of the Apes has the (naked) main character Ulysse taken for a walk by Zira, on a leash... not to attract attention. Ulysse, as a human from Earth, is horribly embarrassed, but Zira tells him that for the apes of planet Soror, it's seeing a dressed and non-leashed human that would look uncanny. | |

The Salvation War: A human pet known as kitten — with the first letter specifically lowercased — is key to human efforts to counteract the invasion from Hell. They don't go anywhere without their boyfriend/Owner and wear a collar and leash, which the military has to account for when including them in study and operations. An example of an intense BDSM lifestyle. | |

In Tokyo Ghoul, upper class Ghouls sometimes keep humans as pets. The members of the Ghoul Restaurant train humans to serve as Scrappers, executioners that perform in a "pre-dinner show" by maiming and dismembering the unlucky victims on the night's menu. Juuzou Suzuya is revealed to have been one, prior to being rescued by CCG. The torture and training he underwent transformed him into a perfect killing machine, but left him damaged goods in all ways imaginable. | |

All Tomorrows: The Qu changed some humans into a slow-breeding, mindless apes called Hedons, treated them as pampered pets, and gave a paradise world to live in. They also used the sessile Temptors as garden decorations. The Saurosapients use the brain-dead descendants of local humans for food and labour purposes. The Subjects of the Gravital were modified into many different forms for their civilization. Like works of art, backup dancers, and blood sacrifices. |

Cross Ange: Riza Randog is a double agent for a race of humans that can turn into dragons. She seeks the location of their progenitor, Aura, who was captured by the so-called god Embryo. Riza infiltrates the World of Mana, where Embryo uses Aura to create a utopia world where magic is possible through Mana; however, those who are unable use it are persecuted and shunned. Embryo later captures Riza, tortures her, and gives her to his follower Sylvia Ikaruga Misurugi, who abuses her, treating her like an animal: depriving her of clothes, muzzling and shackling her, and even whipping her for failure. | |

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yugi's snobby classmate Kujirada had a "hidden character" virtual pet that would live two months (as opposed to normal ones, that lived twenty-one days). Unfortunately for him, it was harder to take care of, constantly waking him up in the middle of the night and demanding to be fed. Eventually, the aggressive virtual pet developed a malignant intelligence and the ability to control Kujirada, regarding him as its pet. It also directed him to link it to other kids' devices so it could devour other virtual pets. The evil virtual pet was defeated when it tried to prey on Yugi's pet, which, due to exchanging data with Jonouchi's pet, was far stronger than it looked. Though a little upset that his prized monster was gone, Kujirada was glad he could finally get some sleep. | |

World of Warcraft: The pet store in Dalaran includes a Gnome Diver in an aquarium tank. Not for sale, mind you. While the Gnome Diver can be argued to only be cleaning the tank, the trope is played straight with the various Father Christmas's Helpers (gnomes in holiday gear), the Goblin Cupid, and Squire players' pets. |

Spawn had a story that followed several dead people through their travails in the afterlife. One of the dangers was an angelic-looking creature descending and carrying one of them away... not for any sort of glory, but because its race valued the souls of entertainers as pets.

In issue #67 of Marvel Team-Up, Tigra is caught by Kraven the Hunter and subjected to a "mnemonic scrambler" (more or less a Slave Collar) that reduces her intelligence to that of a common tiger. He then keeps her like some obedient Right-Hand Cat until Spider-Man shows up and is able to remove it. Some would argue that Tigra was actually lucky; years later, Kraven's madness would be such that he might have turned her into a rug. | |

In The Humans, apes reign as the dominate species and humans (or "skins", due to their hairlessness) are animals used as manual labor, lab rats, pets, etc. However, that does little to prevent apes from having sexual relations with humans. Karns, a chimpanzee, keeps a woman as his pet and sexual plaything, naming her Florence. He owned another by the name of Georgene but made her into a pair of boots. | |

Steven Universe: Back when Pink Diamond was colonizing Earth, she abducted many humans and placed them in a large space station simply called "The Zoo" where five thousand years later their Manchild descendents live in a closely regulated but peaceful and innocent existence. The "zoomans" are all obliviously happy but have no concept of pain or sadness and just being politely rejected causes them to emotionally collapse. It is later subverted in "Now We're Only Falling Apart", when Pearl explains that the Zoo was actually commissioned by the other Diamonds, misunderstanding Pink's desire to preserve Earth's natural wildlife. When Steven's group are on Homeworld, Blue Diamond refers to Connie as Steven's "pet", making him very uncomfortable. |

Gulliver's Travels: In the second section, Gulliver finds himself in Brobdignag, where he's 1/12th the size of everybody else, and he's kept as a pet first by a farming family and later by the King and Queen. Eventually, he finds out that they're looking for a female his size, hoping to breed human pets; he manages to get away (well, accidentally, after a giant bird grabs his cage) before that happens. In the fourth section he's on the island of Houyhnhnms, who are intelligent horses who keep a population of feral humans as beasts of burden but choose to make Gulliver a house pet due to his relative intelligence. | |

Property Of is an AU of the Transformers Film Series in which a group of Decepticons discovered Earth in secret and began to sell humans as pets back on Cybertron, hiding their sentience from the rest of the population. As the fic unfolds, Sam and Mikaela are purchased by Bumblebee, Ironhide takes custody of Annabelle Lennox after she's rescued from a neglectful owner, and Sam's friend Miles is taken in by Prowl. This dynamic is shifted later on when these Autobots realize that their "pets" are sentient, such as Bumblebee recalling how Sam and Mikaela were able to activate his radio when he was injured or Ironhide observing Annabelle trying to imitate Cybertronian. | |

Teen Titans (2003): In "Every Dog Has His Day", Beast Boy is captured and kept as a pet by an alien. This is a kind of weird example because Beast Boy is a shapeshifter, so he can actually become an animal pet if he wants. The basic premise still fits, though. At the end, the villain agrees to switch roles and become the pet of his original, sapient dog. | |

Wings of Fire: A few dragons in the series keep humans as pets (and some editions of the fifth book even come with a letter on the proper care of human pets). Considering that Pyrrhia is a Death World to humans, it's not a terrible situation for the humans to be in. Plus, the dragons who spend time with them come to think of humans as completely adorable. In Moon Rising, the only reason dragons don't eat the scavenger Bandit is because he's someone's pet. | |

West of Eden. The Yilanè kidnap Kerrick as a child so they can study the humans, who are regarded as akin to hostile animals or vermin. However, when Kerrick uses his ability to lie (unknown to the Yilanè) to help Vaintè assassinate a rival, she starts to treat him like this (as well as using him as a Sex Slave). Thanks to the heirarchial nature of Yilanè society, Kerrick's close association with one of their leaders adds to his own status. This is why when Kerrick turns against her and flees, Vaintè takes it very personally, driving her to Kill All Humans. | |

Futurama uses this for gag fodder from time to time. Occasionally you see a Beast Man with a naked, miniature human on a leash, such as Dave Spiegel and his owner Fluffers the cat woman. Bender drops some pretty heavy hints that, while he does genuinely love and care about Fry, this is how he sees their relationship. In "T: The Terrestrial", Fry gets stranded on Omicron Persei 8 and is taken in by Lrrr's son Jrrr in a Humans Through Alien Eyes takeoff on E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. When Bender finally tracks him down, he finds him being treated by an Omicronian vet. |

Orion's Arm: Among the various Human Subspecies are "pet humans" who are usually genetically engineered for lower intelligence and neoteny. They're most popular among Splices and Provolves, seeing as their ancestors were frequently kept as pets or worse. Their ownership is almost universally outlawed in human-dominated areas. Some of the more cynical inhabitants of the Terragen sphere think this is the main reason why so many archailects keep modosophonts (human-level beings) around. |

Naturally, when Suika sees her, she describes her as the Yakumos' new pet, although she describes her being unconventional for one. | |

Transformers: Animated: Invoked and played with. In the second season, the Constructicons mistake Sari for this trope, briefly (and sarcastically) cooing over her like a puppy. In actuality, Sari isn't a pet; with her father missing, the Autobots have become her guardians, and they treat her like a little sister. Sumdac, however, is being held prisoner by Megatron to build a space bridge, and basically is Megatron's pet for the entirety of the season. | |

An arc for the comic adaptation of The Twilight Zone had a large collection of humans, all seemingly kept prisoner on an alien spaceship. Sometimes they get abducted by a column of light and return traumatized. One man, a former astronaut is desperate to escape and return to Earth, who gets rejected by the rest for rocking the boat. When he finally manages to get out, he learns that there is no Earth to go back to, and that the humans weren't abducted but saved from its destruction. Demanding an explanation of what they're supposed to be if not prisoners, he's given an answer the form of a drawing depicting a kitten. The issue ends on a narration from the aliens, describing them as getting humans as a rescue instead of from a breeder. | |
