* [[Tintin (Comic Book)]] has been assisted by decoy animals on occasion:
** In ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/Prisoners of the Sun|Prisoners of the Sun]]'', Tintin is almost spotted by Chiquito sneaking onto the "Pachacamac," but there is a convenient cat. "No es nada, debe de ser el gato..."
** In ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/Land of Black Gold|Land of Black Gold]]'', Snowy serves as a Convenient Decoy Dog when a [[Sneeze of Doom]] almost gives Tintin away.
