A Boy and His X: Difference between revisions

* ''A Boy and his 'Bot'' by Gary Thomas Washington.

* C.O.P.S. #5 centered on Bowser and his cyborg dog Blitz, and Bowser/Rex Pointer's memories of his first dog, Maxie.

 

== Fan Works ==

* [[C. S. Lewis]]'s ''[[Narnia]]'', one of the books is titled ''[[The Horse and His Boy]]'', which sometimes plays the trope straight and sometimes inverts it, as the boy is not always in charge, and is less experienced in the ways of the world than the former warhorse.

* ''[[Discworld]]'':

** Another Discworld novel, ''[[The Truth]]'', gives us Gaspode and Foul Ole Ron, who are essentially A Dog and His Insane Hobo.

** Very similarly to ''[[The Horse and His Boy]]'', in Fredric R. Stewart's ''[[Cerberon]]'', the eponymous unicorn has been George's best friend his entire life. The novel opens with George clearly in command, but by the end it's Cerberon who is in charge. In a [[Shout-Out]] to [[C. S. Lewis|CS Lewis]], Cerberon's mother is named Jewel, after the unicorn in [[The Last Battle]].

* ''[[Jimmy Neutron]]'' has Jimmy and his mechanical canine, Goddard.

* Parodied in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' with ''Soccer Mummy'', a [[Show Within a Show|film within the show]] in which a reanimated Egyptian mummy joins a little league soccer team and teaches a young boy to believe in himself.
