Tropey the Wonder Dog



Tropey The Wonder Dog! Howya doin' boy? Whoosagoodboy? That's right, you are!

What's that, Tropey? We're here to talk about something?

Oh, we're here to talk about tropes that use a metaphorical dog like yourself?

And Timmy's fallen in the well? You want us to bury him with rocks? Sounds like a good idea to me! Good boy!

Tropes:

 * Adopt the Dog
 * The Dog Was the Mastermind: A slightly more literal case than most, but still falls under Tropey's purview.
 * Pet the Dog
 * Licked By the Dog
 * Photo Op With the Dog
 * Kick the Dog
 * Kick the Morality Pet
 * Kick the Son of A Bitch
 * And Your Little Dog, Too
 * The Dog Bites Back
 * Bait the Dog
 * Poke the Poodle
 * Why Do You Hate the Dog
 * Shoot the Dog
 * The Dog Shot First
 * Shoo the Dog
 * Shaggy Dog Story
 * Shoot the Shaggy Dog
 * Throw the Dog A Bone
 * Yank the Dog's Chain


 * Even the Dog Is Ashamed, Dog Dies At the End, Eat the Dog, Scare the Dog, and so on are merely friends of Tropey, as their dogs are less metaphorical. And then there's Tropey Come Home and Old Dog, which are as literal as it gets. Not to be confused with This Index Barks, which is about real dogs. (Make the Dog Testify is borderline; while the "Dog" in question does not have to be a Canine, it does have to be an animal, and it usually is a Canine.)
