Let's say you're a fuzzy little critter living in a world full of Civilized Animals. For the most part, you live as average humans do, at least to your animal limitations. But there's one thing that becomes a tad bit difficult if you're an animal — leaving a signature. So, what do you do? The answer lies literally in your hands! A trademark of most mammals are paws. They range in size and depend on the breed, but they're usually round, distinct and pointy, and show very well that an animal has been there. They're often treated the same way as fingerprints (which is Truth in Television — pawprints and noseprints are unique to cats and dogs). If the animal has hooves, expect hoofprints. If it's a bird, expect them to use their feet. Basically, this trope is about animals using their anatomy as a way to signify their presence, and to remind the viewer that they're an animal. Consider this the descriptive image form of Furry Reminder. Very common amongst the Funny Animal. Examples |

At the end of Brother Bear, Kenai leaves his pawprint on the tribe's cave wall — but everyone does that, since they're a prehistoric people who haven't invented writing. The unusual part is him doing it as a bear rather than a human. | |

In Final Fantasy XIV, Anden lacks opposable thumbs due to being transformed into a leafman a century ago. This means he has to sign all of his Custom Delivery documents with one of his leaves dipped in ink for a stamp. After being restored to his true form as a Viis, he starts signing his deliveries in the Vrandtic script. | |

Making Money: Mr Fusspot is a mongrel, but his late owner loved him very much, and leaves him 50% of the shares in the Ankh Morpork bank — giving him a total of 51% and making him the bank's chairman. Ownership of Mr Fusspot, meanwhile, is given to Moist von Lipwig. When Moist launches his new paper money idea, he stamps Mr Fusspot's paw-prints on the notes to make them official | |

Blue's Clues: In each episode, Blue, the titular blue puppy plays the eponymous game by putting her paw prints on three different items for Steve (later Joe and Josh) to write down in his handy-dandy notebook and deduce what it is she wants when he sits down in the Thinking Chair. Blue indicates she wants to play it by putting her paw print on the screen too. Blue's pawprints have ink-like properties, are semi-sentient, can change their form, and can temporarily animate the objects they touch. Blue's Clues & You! reveals that this is not a peculiarity exclusive to Blue and that all magical puppies (Like Magenta and Rainbow Puppy) are also capable of placing pawprints in the same way as Blue. |

Krypto the Superdog: When Kevin meets Ace the Bat-Hound in Ruffled Feathers, he asks for an autograph. Ace notes that he can't sign his name, so he compensates by giving him a batarang with his pawprint on it. This batarang would end up being used to get rid of the kryptonite weakening Krypto and allow them to escape the death trap they're in. | |

The Pink Panther: In The Pink Panther short "Pink Da Vinci", the titular panther spots an artist painting the Mona Lisa, but with a horrid scowl on her face. The Pink Panther takes it upon himself to replace the frown with a smile. Following some back-and-forth with da Vinci, the smile remains, along with a discreet pin pawprint next to the artist's signature. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Hoofprints are used as signatures in Equestria. In "Wonderbolts Academy," Spitfire autographs a stack of photos by stamping them with her hoofprint. In "Spice Up Your Life," famous food critic Zesty Gourmand gives a three-hoofprint rating to any restaurant she approves of, which in practice means any restaurant with the small servings and bland flavors she likes. |

Wishbone: Wishbone's primary dog actor, Soccer, happened to have some markings on his left ear that looked a bit like a pawprint. At a certain point, they started applying vegetable dye to his ear to make it look more like a pawprint. On the actual show, it's kind of a toss-up whether the ear will have a visible pawprint at any given time, but regardless, he always has the pawprint ear in marketing materials. In "Fleabitten Bargain", Wishbone as Faust uses a pawprint to sign (in blood!) his Deal with the Devil. In "The Pawloined Paper", the replica of the purloined letter has only a pawprint inside of it. In "The Prince and the Pooch", Prince Edward Tudor and Tom Canty (both played by Wishbone) are ultimately distinguished by asking them to draw the Royal Seal. The incorrect version is a giant pawprint. In "Barking at Buddha", Sun Wukong (again, Wishbone) stamps a giant pawprint on the mountains at the edge of the Earth (or rather, Buddha's finger). |
