Licked by the Dog	comment	"Aw, look, he likes you!" A subtler version of Pet the Dog, where an innocent creature like an animal or child shows affection towards someone commonly thought to be mean or a hardass, or who at least has a Face of a Thug. Said hardass doesn't always appreciate the attention. Effective at deflating a character's pompous attitude. An ironic but overused trope is the character hating a certain kind of animal, then finding one who can't take the hint. Sometimes this is introduced later in the plot as a Morality Pet. Compare Evil-Detecting Dog and Friend to All Living Things. Contrast Animals Hate Him. See Photo Op with the Dog, where someone tries to invoke this trope via a picture.

Licked by the Dog / int_13d88835	comment	Cowboy Bebop (2021). When Faye Valentine first lays eyes on Welsh corgi Ein, her response is shock (dogs are so rare she's only seen them in a zoo), greed (they're worth between 20-30 million woolongs), and hunger (they're reputed to be good eating). Her trying to dog-nap Ein shortly afterwards doesn't help matters. After she nearly gets killed saving millions of lives from a terrorist missile, she's woken up after being recovered from her crashed spacecraft by Ein licking her face (to her disgust). It's at this point that Spike is willing to accept her on the BeBop (having expressed an urge to shoot Faye several times during the episode).

While his gift to her, a dead rabbit he left in her pack of unmentionables, wasn't exactly appreciated, Morrigan's "dialogue" with Dog shows that his affection does eventually wear down her defenses. In the "Witch Hunt" DLC, Dog is overjoyed when he is reunited with Morrigan. Resident Empath and Spirit of Compassion Cole in Dragon Age: Inquisition's Trespasser DLC is the only companion who approves of wishing to rush in and save your former ally Solas from the Qunari, even after it's revealed that he's Jumped Off The Slippery Slope.

Proving it's not because Spock is half human that the tribbles liked him. "Its trilling seems to have a tranquilizing effect on the human nervous system! Fortunately, I am...immune to its effect...." Cue everybody looking up as he trails off, stroking it. Once he realizes what he's doing, he puts it down and walks off with what's left of his emotionless Vulcan pride.

Licked by the Dog / int_2275c659	comment	The title character of House has a tendency to get licked by the dog: When House gets temporary custody of Wilson's dog Hector, Hector seems to like him quite a bit — by the end, Hector's walking with a limp, apparently because House trained him to. Apparently is the key word here: he slammed a door on his leg by accident (initially he wanted the dog to run away and get hit by a car). After an incident where Hector ate a bottle of his Vicodin, House decided he liked him. By the end of the episode, both are shown to have bonded over their mutual addiction. House is hugged by the Littlest Cancer Patient at the end of "Autopsy." Notably, House subverts this slightly by refusing to hug her back and looking extremely uncomfortable. In "Lines in the Sand" the autistic kid gives him his PSP. Given how....defensive some low-functioning autistic get with things, that is as Licked by the Dog as it gets. In "Fetal Position" he was doing an operation on a pregnant woman's tummy when the baby got his hand out and grabbed House's finger. Following that, he stopped referring to it as a fetus, and started calling it a baby. The baby's mother even names her son after House. Damn, he sure is prone to this trope!

Licked by the Dog / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: In the episode entitled "Dog of Death," Homer comes across as uncharacteristically heartless when he refuses to pay for a life-saving operation for the family dog (not wanting to give up his beer money). But after the dog adorably licks his hand, Homer groans and grudgingly agrees to the operation. The end of "Simpsons Roasting On an Open Fire," where Homer loses at the dog track after betting on Santa's Little Helper. The dog is chased off by his angry owner and jumps into Homer's arms. In "Moe Baby Blues," Moe accidentally saves Maggie from falling into the river while attempting suicide. He's baffled at first, even when the town starts cheering for him, but when Maggie gives him a kiss, his face breaks into the sweetest smile.

While she isn't quite as good as the evil-detecting baby (sometimes she doesn't get along with people who are more or less harmless), there are lots of moments where she serves as the metaphorical dog. People who are nice to her are usually trustworthy. Ward is impressed when he meets a woman who can understand his sister's body langauge and facial expressions, and "talk" to her in a way. He ends up getting together with that woman.

He even has a sort of Big Brother Mentor role for several young women who joined the X-Men before they even turned eighteen: Shadowcat, Jubilee, Armor, Rogue (in the alternate continuity Ultimate X-Men), and his biological daughter X-23 (who he adopts outright). In most cases, this would be okay, but for this particular person, it's not only highly unusual; it's often either the result of or leads directly to some sort of screwed-up situation or another. It does get stretched a bit when he has an entire mini-series of him co-starring with the Power Pack.

Sakaki is the school's Huge Schoolgirl, considered universally to be cool, intimidating, and very serious (even though she's far from it). She'd be the perfect candidate for this treatment. Instead, every time she gets near a cat... Further, she desperately wishes she'd be licked, because she just loves those fluffy animals so. When Chiyo's dog, Tadakichi-san, actually allows her to pet him, she does so for hours. Sakaki finally receives this treatment from a wildcat, who stows away, finds her and becomes her pet.

Both Dick Grayson and Alfred believe that Damian Wayne can outgrow his violent tendencies and live up to his father's legacy. So far, they seem to be right, as Damian likes being Robin and finds that doing good is the best thing he has ever done with his life, even breaking away from his mother completely. Jason Todd to some extent. Some kids like him, most are scared of him, but mostly because he hates when children are hurt. One of the few times this is subverted in regard to Batman is in DC: The New Frontier when a little boy who has been kidnapped by cultists is utterly terrified and driven to tears by Batman's original Golden Age costume with the demonic horn-like ears, which leads to him switching to the more streamlined and colorful Silver Age costume. In at least one story, Batman muses that children are innocent, and the innocent have nothing to fear from him. In Batman: Hush, Superman's dog Krypto literally licks Catwoman's face. It should be pointed out that even though he seems to love her, she isn't that fond of him — she really isn't a dog person! It's probably a side effect of Catwoman's having a knack for animals of all sorts, but still...

But when Relm treats Interceptor like an adorable little puppy, he reciprocates. Somehow, this shifts the implications of the trope onto Shadow by proxy. It probably helps that Relm may be Shadow's daughter. To explain, she IS his daughter and Interceptor used to be the family pet of Shadow's wife (who died shortly after Relm was born) who went with him after he ran off. Interceptor remembers Relm from when she was a baby.

And it's a sign of his brother Jaime's incipient Heelâ€“Face Turn when Brienne of Tarth stops calling him 'Kingslayer' and starts calling him by the respectful 'Ser Jaime'. An almost literal example occurs when Bran first meets Sam, under worrying circumstances (coming up out of the well in a castle infamous for gruesome ghost stories) - when Bran's wolf Summer licks Sam's hand, Bran decides he can trust him.

PokÃ©mon Diamond and Pearl's Cyrus is a madman who plots to destroy and recreate the world without emotion. Naturally, he owns a Crobat. Similarly, in PokÃ©mon Gold and Silver and their remakes, rival character Silver, a trainer who views pokemon only as tools for battle, starts using a Zubat early on, which quickly evolves into Golbat. It does not evolve into Crobat, however, until he starts to learn the error of his ways and view pokemon as friends. PokÃ©mon Scarlet and Violet has Penny, secretly the leader of Team Star, be on the receiving end from each game's respective mascot Legendary licking her. It might look awkward slightly, as Koraidon's tongue never actually touches her and Miraidon's is nonexistent, but it shows these Pokemon can sense her desires to make amends. Penny gets a double-whammy: while she's already less of her shy self by the time you fight her, two of her Pokemon are Umbreon and Sylveon. While Umbreon is noted to be poisonous and crafty, and some of Sylveon's entries mention it distracting and going for weak points, both are friendship-based evolutions (Umbreon at night, Sylveon if Eevee knows a Fairy-type move).

Regardless, Inomata starts to defrost after the babies apologize to her for making her cry. Inui is initially strong-armed into secretly watching over KotarÅ� on his first errand, but KotarÅ�'s genuine gratitude to him for saving the lunchbox from falling down the stairs inspires him to see it through more actively. In the manga this results in the two becoming friends, after Inui's first appearance had him dismissively refer to KotarÅ� as a "space cadet".

It's kind of an early sign that Sirius is actually a good guy, but Harry's initial conclusion is that it must mean Crookshanks is bad.

Licked by the Dog / int_e3ed54c7	comment	Pretty Cure: Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash★Star: Saki's little sister Minori comes to adore Kaoru due to the latter talking to her bluntly, which made her feel like a grown-up. At the time, Kaoru is The Stoic and secretly a member of the evil Dark Fall. The more she interacts with Minori, the more she comes around. Fresh Pretty Cure!: Setsuna encounters a little boy and his dog two episodes after her Heelâ€“Face Turn. Way back when she was evil, she had turned the dog into a monster and K-O'ed the kid. The kid doesn't recognize her, but the dog does and Setsuna fears it's reaction. To her surprise, it ends up licking her hand and then being more than willing to play with her, showing no hard feelings for what she did in the past. Doki Doki Pretty Cure: The innocent baby fairy Ai-chan adores Regina, the spoiled and unapologetic daughter of the Big Bad. Despite that, Regina likes her back. It later turns out they are two parts of the same person, the Big Good.

Licked by the Dog / int_e5497d09	comment	In Wolf's Rain Tsume objects when Toboe starts licking his wounds. This is something of a subversion, since they're both talking canines, but it looks funny (peculiar and ha-ha) because they're both in human disguise at the time, also adding a level of Ho Yay to the whole thing.

Mal is quite a hardass initially but Kaylee loves him so the audience can't help loving him, too.

The kitten immediately takes to them... especially Sanzo, the most badass of them all, who claims to hate cats, is allergic to them, and mostly tries to ignore the cute little feline.

Licked by the Dog / int_ec28245c	comment	Dragon Ball Z: Piccolo was considered pure evil by the main cast after nearly killing them all, but little Gohan doesn't understand why, and thinks he's a pretty cool dude. He even sings a song called "I Love Mr. Piccolo" for heaven's sake. Majin Buu also gets licked by the dog, literally. He finds an injured puppy and heals it so that it'll be scared and run away from him, but it thinks of Buu as its new best friend. At one point, Mr. Satan convinces Buu that there are other things to do than kill and destroy, but then the dog gets shot... A bit before that, Buu encounters a blind kid, who isn't scared of Buu because he can't see him, so Buu heals his eyes. The kid is very grateful, and doesn't find Buu's appearance scary, or even not normal, because Buu is the first thing he ever saw and he doesn't know what a normal person looks like. And in Cross Epoch, the One Piece/Dragon Ball crossover, Chopper offers Vegeta cake. Awwww...

Licked by the Dog / int_f6093124	comment	In Monstress, Kippa voluntarily followed Maika when she broke out of the Cumaea slave prison, because she's "good at killing people" and would therefore make a good protector. Even after Maika, in a fit of Horror Hunger, eats a child right in front of her, Kippa seems to instinctively know that Maika cares for her, and sticks by her even in dangerous situations (although it doesn't stop her from temporarily running away when she knows her life is in danger from the Monstra). Maika is surprised by this, but it ultimately wins her over.

Why, many's the time I've chosen a man based solely on the way my mum's springer spaniel took to them." In response, Niles secretly smears his neck with pate to make Eddie's puppies lick him.
