Basically, this is any child character explaining to his teacher why he hasn't done his homework. This will be either a lie, which may or may not be believed, or a [[Cassandra Truth]]. If it is the latter, expect them to also bring in the evidence proving their case (such as moist bits from homework, or even the animal itself.) The most common variant involves a dog, but other animals can be used as well.

* A [[Disney Adventures]] ''[[Goof Troop]]'' comic had PJ offering this excuse for his homework. Though he had the sense to bring Chainsaw, still attached to said homework, with him.

* In one season 10 episode of ''[[M*A*S*H (television)]]'', Hawkeye gets in serious trouble because a goat ate the entire payroll (and, naturally, no one believes him; he is charged with stealing it). Later, Hawkeye is finally proven innocent when the goat subsequently eats a general's report on the issue. Seems sort of the same thing in spirit.

* Briefly mentioned in an episode of ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' when the Russos adopt a dragon that's been transformed into a beagle. At one point, the dragon dog sets Alex's homework on fire, to which she comments: "The dog burned my homework, that's a new one."

* In the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' episode "The Nagus", Nog tries to explain why he hasn't done his homework. The only excuse he comes up with is that "Vulcans stole his homework".

Line 35:

* ''[[Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad]]'' had an episode titled "A Virus Ate My Homework". Unlike what the title might have made fans expect, Sam's homework wasn't eaten. His little sister painted it over. Fortunately, the emergency caused by the virus made the students go home earlier, allowing Sam another day to redo the homework.

* Invoked in the lyrics to the theme song for ''[[Saved by the Bell]]''.
