Line 53:
** Sam's crying in ''Hit The Road'' sounds like dog 'crying', or whining, rather than like human tears. And his singing in the Telltale games sounds more like a dog howling along to music (but with words!) than it does human singing. His [[Big No]] in ''They Stole Max's Brain!'' is less of a human shout, and more of a dog's howl.
** In the ''Hit The Road'' comic story, Sam attacks a hoodlum robbing a convenience store by biting his hand. He admits afterward that he's never done that before and it was embarrassing.
** Combined with [[Fridge Horror]] for [[Dead Baby Comedy]] effect in ''Hit The Road'', when Max cheerfully observes that as a rabbit, he can only expect to live to be five. <ref>In all non Hit The Road continuities, Sam and Max age like normal humans.</ref>
* In the ''[[Sly Cooper]]'' games, one of the titular protagonist's [[Idle Animation|idle animations]] has him using his cane to scratch his back, which results in one of his legs twitching like a dog's (even though he's a raccoon).
* In ''[[Solatorobo]]'', Caninu ([[Petting Zoo People|dog-people]]) are shown as catching flying discs in their mouths like regular dogs in lore, and Red himself is quite fond of chewing on a [[Stock Femur Bone]].
* The birds in ''[[Hatoful Boyfriend]]'' are mostly an inch between [[Civilized Animal|Civilized Animals]]s and [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]]s, but Oko San, a fantail pigeon, is more birdlike than the others. He talks in coos which are translated, has a hyperactive, arrogant and [[Genius Ditz|extremely stupid personality]], and his 'human' portrait is just a pigeon in a school uniform. He was based on the writer's real life pet bird, and serves mostly to remind the player that the cast really are birds.
** At one point, San is made to wear a maid costume as part of a class fundraiser. Ryouta, a rock dove, tries to convince him he looks okay, and holds up a mirror to prove it. San, since his species lacks the ability to pass the [[wikipedia:Mirror test|mirror test]], can't tell that it's his reflection and starts trying to court it.
** When the class all leave wishes on the tree for Tanabata, everyone leaves well-spoken messages except for Oko San, whose is covered in footprints and spots of ink (or possibly droppings).
Line 109:
* In one cartoon shown within the show, [[House of Mouse]], Mickey says that Pete is the only cat that Pluto can chase.
** In some episodes, Mickey is shown drinking from a giant water dispenser, like the ones used for small pets. He also exercises on a large hamster wheel.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has many. [[Lauren Faust]] wanted it to be clear that the ponies were ''ponies'', not pony-shaped humans. This is mainly and most clearly done through [[Shown Their Work|careful integration of actions that actual horses do.]] Ponies occasionally do things such as lay back their ears to show unhappiness or paw the earth when aggressive. "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E16 Sonic Rainboom|Sonic Rainboom]]" even has Rainbow Dash flicking her tail when being taunted by another pegasus -- whichpegasus—which, again, is something that real horses do when annoyed. Now that is attention to detail.
** Seems to be averted, however, with many of the horse noises the ponies might at a first glance seem to make -- theymake—they can even "whinny" with their mouths closed,<ref>At least seen with Twilight's [[Rearing Horse]] pose in "A Dog and Pony Show"</ref>, and even otherwise, the mouths don't tend to move when the sound is heard. Since the attention to detail is there, this is unlikely to be an oversight. Instead, many of these noises (harder to tell with snorts, of course, and not all cases need to be the same) seem to be symbolic -- samesymbolic—same as the jet plane noises sometimes heard in conjunction with pegasuses flying or preparing to take off, or the "beep beep beep" when someone<ref>Specifically Spike in "Feeling Pinkie Keen"</ref> is walking backwards carrying a pile of stuff.
** A number of reminders come up in the form of the ponies' diets. In one flashback, Rarity is designing costumes for a school pageant, and if you look carefully, it becomes clear that it's about the five food groups: fruits, vegetables, baked goods, hay, and flowers. In another instance, Pinkie Pie sings a song to try to smooth relations between ponies and buffalo: "We all eat hay and oats. Why be at each others' throats?" When Pinkie Pie's trying to be spooky about Zecora, she says, "I heard that Zecora... ''eats hay!''" Twilight Sparkle points out they ''all'' eat hay. Twilight Sparkle also [[Loves Me Not|picked flower petals]] to try to figure out which one of her friends should go with her to the Grand Galloping Gala in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E03 The Ticket Master|The Ticket Master]]"... then eats the petals right after.
** During Rarity's "Art of the Dress" song, she sings at one point about the parts of the body to be covered - and they're all ''horse'' parts: "Croup, dock, haunch/shoulders, hips". For bonus points, the patterns she cuts are appropriate for each part named.
