Most people love animals, especially their pets. Some authors may even put some sort of reference to a real-life animal in their work. Most often, it will be their own pet, either as a memorial or just because they love him that much. It may be just the animal's name, similar to the human equivalent, Tuckerization. This is justified in a film if the pet themselves is playing the pet named after them; after all, it's much easier to get an animal to respond to its own name. The whole animal, not just the name, may be put into the work as well. Or, perhaps, they based an animal character off a real-life one, such as its appearance or mannerisms, even if they didn't use the name. |

On Honorable Hogwarts, the character of Lucy Frost is named after her creator's cat. As in, the cat's full name... the guy behind the character is actually named Frost in Real Life, so Frost is also the cat's surname. | |

Discworld: Lady Jane, the evil-tempered gyrfalcon who is constantly attacking Hodgesaargh, is named after a real falcon, just as Hodgesaaargh is named after a real falconer. Apparently, Greebo, Nanny Ogg's gigantic ill-tempered cat, has some qualities of a Russian Blue cat Terry Pratchett once owned. However, Greebo is significantly more cunning and badass, because the actual cat, according to Pratchett, has the sense of an elastic band, if that wasn't insulting to stationery. |

Guppy the cat from The Binding of Isaac, whose body parts and related items (a head, a tail, a paw, a hairball and even his whole corpse) can be collected by Isaac, was based on a real cat owned by Edmund McMillen, the game's creator. When Guppy died during the development stage of Rebirth, a memento item - his pink collar - was added to the game, granting the owner a chance to resurrect upon dying. | |

While Piers Anthony was writing his Xanth novel Demons Don't Dream, his dog Bubbles died, so he decided to put her into the book at that point. Part of his explanation can be seen in the page quote. Mare Imbri is also based on Blue, a horse he owned at the time. Blue died right before he started writing the same book, so, as he pointed out in the author's note, it seemed right that Mare Imbri would lead Bubbles into Xanth. | |

Indiana Jones: The character Indiana Jones is named after creator George Lucas's dog Indiana, who was also the inspiration for Chewbacca. There is also an in-universe example that reflects the Real Life situation: in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, it is shown that the character chose the nickname "Indiana" after his family's dog. This was taken even further in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: Willie was the name of Steven Spielberg's dog, and Short Round was the dog of one of the co-writers. |

Doglands: Furgul is based on the writer's own lurcher named Feargul. He adopted Feargul and wondered why his dog was so covered with scars. The fictional Furgul from the story gets Covered with Scars through various fights and escapes with death. The writer owns a German shepherd and greyhound, which are likely inspirations for Furgul's Love Interest Dervla and his mother Keeva. |

In the Twice Upon an Age series, it's mentioned that Hawke has a mabari named Rikki. Lady Norbert named him after her parents' dog; although he was alive for the first several years that the series was being written, he has since passed away, making it something of a Tear Jerker In Memoriam. | |

Two of the tombs in the level "Bluff Eversmoking" of Unreal mention "Myscha" and "Pelit", two of T. Elliott Cannon's dead pets, something that's confirmed by the game's own manual, where Myscha dedicates the game to their memory. | |

Good Eats: A beagle is seen in several episodes of the original series. That beagle actually is Alton Brown's Real Life pet dog. And in Good Eats: The Return, a French bulldog sometimes appears. The beagle passed away in the years between the end of the original and the Reboot, and Alton got himself a new dog. |

Young Justice (2010): Invasion: Wally and Artemis adopt a sleepy white pit bull. According to the producers and Stephanie Lemelin, Artemis' voice actor, he's explicitly modeled after her own sleepy white pit bull, Bruceley. When asked what the dog's name was, Greg Weisman answered "I want to say Bruceley." And once the show was Un-Cancelled, Bruceley became the canon name of the dog. In season 4, Beast Boy, recovering from the traumas in his life, unveils a therapy dog named Wingman, based on a dog that is frequently seen with his voice actor Greg Cipes. |

In MINECON Earth 2018, Jeb announced that the community could vote for a 9th cat skin to be added with the rest of the other 8 cat skins.note Technically speaking, cats were already in the game but only as tamed ocelots, and cats only had three textures — Siamese, tuxedo, or orange tabby; in the 1.14 update, the two were split into separate mobs and six more cat textures were added, with one of them being voted in by the community. Ultimately, GoodTimesWithScar's cat Jellie won the contest and was added in the 1.14 "Village & Pillage" update. On a related note, ever since her addition to the game, Scar the content creator has sought out her incarnation in just about every Minecraft series he has, so she can continue to accompany him in the blocky world as well as the real world. | |

Minecraft: The tuxedo cat is based off of Jeb's actual cat Newton, who sadly passed away in 2014. A special skin rabbits get when named Toast was implemented as a memorial for a missing rabbit of certain player's girlfriend. Unlike the other examples here, this one is specific to using a name tag on the animal, rather than a naturally-generating skin. In MINECON Earth 2018, Jeb announced that the community could vote for a 9th cat skin to be added with the rest of the other 8 cat skins.note Technically speaking, cats were already in the game but only as tamed ocelots, and cats only had three textures — Siamese, tuxedo, or orange tabby; in the 1.14 update, the two were split into separate mobs and six more cat textures were added, with one of them being voted in by the community.

For the original Zoo Tycoon, Microsoft had a campaign called "Beast in Show" where fans would vote for their favorite real-life animal from a zoo. The winning animal would be made available as free DLC and its home zoo would get a donation from Microsoft; the winner ended up being Magnet the polar bear from the Baltimore Zoo. | |

Koko and Yum Yum, the Siamese in the The Cat Who... Series books, were named after author Lilian Jackson Braun's real-life Siamese. Koko's personality is particularly modeled after that of the original Koko, who met a tragic untimely end. She recalled later, "He adored me and I adored him." For the remainder of her life, she would always have two Siamese cats by those names, named for the original pair. | |

Gravity Falls has an interesting example with Mabel's pet pig, Waddles. While Alex Hirsch wanted to give the character a pig after his sister wanted one growing up, the name was given by series writer Aury Wallington, whose family had raised a number of pigs growing up, each year having one being named Waddles. And each year, they would apparently eat whichever pig was named Waddles at the time and then raise another one to be eaten the following year. | |
