A character and their pet are nearly inseparable, until the pet goes missing. For some reason, a character's pet will wander away from home, get kidnapped, or get itself lost some other way. This leads to two separate storylines. On one side, the pet is incredibly lost, scared, and desperately trying to get home. The second story will involve the characters dealing with the loss of their pet, either by feeling miserable or by actively searching for them. In the end, the two parties will eventually reunite, maybe even with An Aesop or two. May overlap with I Will Wait for You where the human refuses to give up on waiting or to get a new pet. When the pet has been driven away by a cruel owner instead of getting lost, it's Come Back, My Pet!. The human equivalent of this is There's No Place Like Home. The trope namer is, of course, Tropey the Wonder Dog. |

In the animated version of Milly, Molly, the episode "Harry's Mouse" involves the girls looking after Harry's mouse Brian while the latter is on holiday. When Brian disappears, the girls think Milly's cat Marmalade ate him (because she wasn't hungry for dinner) and in a subversion of Dead Pet Sketch, they buy a second mouse, only for Brian to return. Brian ends up keeping the second mouse and naming her Brioni. | |

At one point in Calvin and Hobbes, Hobbes gets lost in the woods, and Calvin's parents have to go look for him at night. Calvin's mom even calls out "Hobbes! Where are you?!" An earlier storyline had a large dog stealing him, and worried fans of the strip even wrote letters to Bill Watterson hoping Hobbes was okay. Luckily, Susie came across him. |

Rugrats: Spike leaves for an episode, for a long enough period for Stu to go through several new pets, including a tarantula and pair of gerbils. Subverted on the Spike half of the story, though: He gets taken in by a rich old man, who eventually brings him home. The man at the pound the Pickles go to even says this is a pretty common thing there. Another episode has Angelica kick Spike out after he refuses to participate in a pretend wedding ceremony the same time Tommy and Chuckie send her doll Cynthia on a boatride... down a sewer drain. Spike finds the doll in a garbage dump and, remembering Angelica, decides to leave it. However, when he remembers Tommy, he snatches it and heads back. No one really realizes he was gone. |

In Remember Dippy, Mem is walking home with Linguini the ferret when Dirk rides by on his bicycle, almost knocking over Johnny. Johnny jumps out of the way and bumps into Mem, who drops Linguini, who runs into the bushes. Mem is devastated. The protagonists search for her, to no avail. Until Dirk writes two notes with a chocolate-scented marker and leaves them in the Dippy mailbox. Linguini, drawn by the smell, climbs into the mailbox, where Johnny finds her the next day. | |

The Soup: This happened many years ago on Talk Soup, when, in reference to a previous clip, John Henson was interrupted by an blurry foreground image of a bereft Gumby plaintively calling out for his lost horse, Pokey. Fans of the show were, of course, devastated that Gumby had been left hanging. Eventually, with a little celebrity encouragement, there was a tearful reunion. |

The trope namer and trope maker is the book Lassie Come-Home — note the punctuation — though, unlike most examples, Lassie doesn't get lost or abandoned; she's intentionally sold by an owner who can't afford to keep her anymore (and also can't afford to not gain the fifteen guineas a local duke has offered for her), much to the emotional devastation of his son. But she escapes anyway. Multiple times, in fact, before finally being taken to a dog show in Scotland. Where she escapes again, this time making the epic journey that inspired countless imitators. The duke's servant even accuses them of running a scam, training her to escape so they can sell her again to someone else: "I know all about yer and yer come-home dogs." The film adaptation altered the punctuation in a way that fits the trope as commonly understood far better than the actual plot, though even this could be read as a description ("Lassie, who has come home") rather than a command, as the Title Drop at the end suggests. | |

One of the best known examples is the 1972 animated film Snoopy, Come Home. It starts out as a light-hearted look at the concept. At least, until Snoopy decides to go back to his original owner. And then Snoopy learns that his original owner lives in a pet-free apartment complex, so he says goodbye to Lila and returns to Charlie Brown. | |

A major overarching arc of the first two seasons of the Johto era of Pokémon: The Original Series revolved around a Snubbull who ran away from home to escape a life of pampering. She ended up sticking around Team Rocket because, for some reason, she liked biting Meowth's tail. Her trainer, Madame Muchmoney, eventually got her back (after she evolved into a Granbull) by promising she wouldn't be spoiled anymore. There's a single-episode version elsewhere in the Johto era, where Ash's Bayleef ran away when he got tired of her Stalker with a Crush antics. |
